Abstract:
Single and multiple scattering of light by magnetic particles and their implications to the coherent backscattering effect are reported. Single scattering of light by small magnetic particles presents unusual features such as forward-backward asymmetry and resonance effects. In multiple scattering, this leads to a global decrease in the localization parameter kl(*), which exhibits an oscillatory dependence on the scatterer magnetic permeability. By considering magnetic scatterers following a Curie-Weiss susceptibility law, we suggest that kl(*) can be tuned by varying the temperature.
