Geometrical Cross Section

A new heuristic derivation of the radiation pressure and Poynting-Robertson drag forces is presented for particles with general optical properties; previous derivations considered only perfectly absorbing materials. The equation of motion for a particle of mass m and geometrical cross-section A, moving with velocity v through a radiation field of energy flux F, is (to terms of order v/c)where r̂ is the radial unit vector, ṙ is the radial velocity, and c is the speed of light. The radiation pressure efficiency factor Qpr includes both scattering and absorption, it is evaluated using Mie theory for small spherical particles with measured optical properties that are irradiated by the actual solar spectrum. Very small particles (<0.01 μm) are not substantially affected by radiation forces.

The radiation pressure (RP) felt by a perfectly absorbing particle is due to the momentum withdrawn each second from the beam. The Poynting-Robertson (PR) drag is produced since the particle continually absorbs mass in the form of radiation, which, upon re-emission, has the same mean momentum density as the particle itself. We find that, relative to the force felt by a perfectly absorbing particle, the RP+PR forces felt by a scattering particle must be multiplied by Qpr, the radiation pressure coefficient, which can be evaluated from Mie theory.

AbstractWe have set up an experimental device to optically study the scattering properties of dust particles. Measurements over the 8 — 174° interval of scattering angles are performed on a continuously flowing dust loaded jet illuminated by a polarized red HeNe laser beam. The scattering is averaged over the population of the dust particles in the jet, which can be determined independently, and give the “volume scattering function” for the two directions of polarization directly. While results for spherical particles are in good agreement with Mie theory, those for arbitrary particles show conspicuous deviations.
