Parametric Modeling Of Diffuse-Reflectance Spectra For Surface-Distributed Rdx Particles

This study describes parametric modeling of diffuse IR reflectance for sparsely surface-distributed particles of the explosive RDX. Diffuse IR spectra are modeled using a formulation that considers spectral features due to targetmaterial reflectance, i.e., RDX, substrate reflectance and resonance scattering resulting from finite sizes of surface-distributed particles. The results of this study demonstrate an approach for parametric modeling of diffuse IR reflectance for sparsely surface-distributed particles. The mathematical formulation of this approach is that of a phenomenological scattering-matrix representation.
