Scattering by Aggregates on Surfaces

In the book the proceedings of the Workshop Scattering by Aggregates (on Surfaces) are printed. The meeting was held at Institut für Werkstofftechnik, Bremen on March 24 + 25, 2014. The papers demonstrate the wide interdisciplinary nature of the interest in light scattering by particles and particle aggregates. They highlight that it is important to consider the surface aggregates are positioned on. There is particle surface scattering interaction and any light scattering theory has to account for this interaction. The theoretical treatment illustrates the present-day research topics in various fields, covering aspects like plasmonics, evanescent-wave scattering, plasmonic waveguides and Gaussian beam scattering.
