Cross-sections and albedo for homogeneous infinitely long cylinders
 
  1. Dielectric materials
  1.1. The dependence on the size parameter x for different refractive indices m=n+ki
Qext (x) Qsca (x) Qabs (x) albedo (x) Qpol (x)
 Parameters:   n  = 1.3;   k = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3;   x  = 0--20.

-- --
 Parameters:  n = 1.3, 1.5, 1.7;  k = 0;   x  = 0--20.
 Notes:   Qabs=0, albedo=1, when k=0.

  2. Highly absorbing materials
  2.1. The dependence on the size parameter x for different refractive indices m=n+ki
Qext (x) Qsca (x) Qabs (x) albedo (x) Qpol (x)
 Parameters:  n = 2.5;  k = 0.5, 1.5, 2.5;  x = 0--7.

 Parameters:  n = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5;  k = 1.5;  x = 0--7.
