Galletto, P., W. Lin, M.I. Mishchenko, and M. Borkovec, 2005: Light-scattering form factors of asymmetric particle dimers from heteroaggregation experiments. J. Chem. Phys., 123, 064709, doi:10.1063/1.1996570.

Measurements of form factors of asymmetric particle dimers composed of oppositely charged polystyrene latex particles are presented. These measurements are based on time-resolved static and dynamic light scattering on dilute aggregating aqueous suspensions. The experimental form factors are compared with independent calculations based on the superposition T-matrix method and Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) approximation. While the RDG approximation is found to be reliable only up to particle diameters of about 250 nm, the superposition T-matrix method is very accurate for all types of dimers investigated. The present results show clearly the appropriateness of the superposition T-matrix method to estimate the optical properties of colloidal particles in the micrometer range reliably.
