摘要

Abstract

Light scattering by small particles has a long and interesting history in physics. Nonetheless

it continues to surprise with new insights and applications. This includes new discoveries

such as novel plasmonic effects

as well as exciting theoretical and experimental developments such as optical trapping

anomalous light scattering

optical tweezers

nanospasers

and novel aspects and realizations of Fano resonances. These have led to important new applications

including several ones in the biomedical area and in sensing techniques at the single-molecule level. There are additionally many potential future applications in optical devices and solar energy technologies. Here we review the fundamental aspects of light scattering by small spherical particles

emphasizing the phenomenological treatments and new developments in this field.
