A single source that covers both absorption and scattering in a comprehensive format that maintains balance between both subject areas. Opens with a review of basic theory, and then delves into optical properties of bulk matter and optical properties of particles. Although written from a physicist's point of view, it offers various examples and applications in other fields.Treating absorption and scattering in equal measure, this study examines how small particles absorb and scatter light. The authors emphasize that any discussion of the optical behaviour of small particles is inseparable from an understanding of the optical behaviour of the parent material.
