Abstract Light scattering by a single superconducting microparticle trapped in a quadrupole magnetic field has been observed. The angular distributions of the scattering light were recored for multiple colors of incident light, and were well reproduced by using the Mie scattering theory with the refractive indices for normal conducting metals. This analysis provides us the radius of the trapped particle.

Based on the Mie scattering theory and the gamma size distribution model, 10.6μm laser scattering characteristics in dust particles are calculated and analyzed.On this basis,the time broadening and space broadening characteristics of the laser are analyzed by using Monte Carlo method.Transmittance change with the transmission distance are quantitative calculated and the time detention and space broadening characteristics of the laser passed through dust for different transmission distances are calculated and analyzed. The results show that the transmittance decreases with increasing transmission distance, and the transmittance is close to 0 when transmission distance is close to 200m; The time delay of 10.6μm laser is more significant with the increaseing transmission distance; The space broadening of 10.6μm laser is more obvious and the energy is more dispersed with the increaseing transmission distance.

Scattering theory for the scattering of phonons by particulate scatterers is developed in this paper. Recently the author introduced the generalized equation of phonon radiative transport (GEPRT) in particulate media, which included a phase function to account for the anisotropic scattering of phonons by particulate scatterer. Solution of the GEPRT showed that scattering cross section is different from the thermal transport cross-section. In this paper formulations for the scattering and transport cross section for horizontally shear (SH) wave phonon or transverse wave phonon without mode conversion is developed. The development of the theory of scattering and the transport cross section is exactly analogous to the Mie scattering theory for photon transport in particulate media. Results show that transport cross section is very different from the scattering cross section. The theory of phonon scattering developed in this paper will be useful for the predictive modeling of thermal conductivity of practical systems, such as nanocomposites, nano-micro-particle-laden systems, etc.
