Research on the infrared scattering characteristics of films doped with infrared lossless nanoparticles based on mie scattering

Abstract Recently, infrared scattering has caught people’s interest because of its stealth capabilities, heat insulation properties, polarization control, and other factors. This study specifically explores Mie scattering in the infrared spectrum, which is a well-established theory describing how light is absorbed and scattered by particles. We will analyze the periodic structure of nanoparticles made from ZnS, calculating their reflectance, transmission, and far-field scattering characteristics. Lastly, we will present scattering effect of ZnS/SEBS coating sprayed onto metal, illustrating how multiple-particle Mie scattering can achieve stealth capabilities.
