Effect of Anisotropy on Light Scattering by Streaming Freely Flexible Linear Macromolecules

摘要

The theory of Peterlin, Heller, and Nakagaki is generalized to allow for each segment of the macromolecule possessing two different polarizabilities, one longitudinal and the other transverse. The polarization of the scattered light is then different from that given by the theory of PHN, which predicts the polarization to be that of ordinary Rayleigh scattering. Expressions for the four different differential cross sections which can be defined are derived.
