Scattering of electromagnetic waves by charging clouds of particles

It is shown that the effects of localization can be observed in the scattering of electromagnetic waves on plasma formations arising in a cloud of charged particles in the atmosphere. The criterion of localization is l/sub s// lambda <or=1, where l/sub s/ is the elastic mean-free-path and lambda...

Summary:It is shown that the effects of localization can be observed in the scattering of electromagnetic waves on plasma formations arising in a cloud of charged particles in the atmosphere. The criterion of localization is l/sub s// lambda <or=1, where l/sub s/ is the elastic mean-free-path and lambda is the wavelength. The corresponding inelastic mean-free-path l/sub a/ must be much larger than the wavelength. Achievement of these conditions in condensed media is a difficult problem. Early localization of microwave radiation is found in random mixtures of metallic and dielectric spheres.< >
