Venger © SPE Publishing House Naukova Dumka NAS of Ukraine, design, 2009 PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION (2008) Today’s interest of researchers to disperse materials is caused by a number of unusual and unique properties demonstrated by such media. These properties find their applications in optics, quantum electronics, micro- and optoelectronics, powder metallurgy, materials science, medicine, military science and other branches of science and engineering. There exist prerequisites for the application of small particles when developing insulators with controllable dielectric properties, solar cells and microelectronic devices of new types. Actually, knowledge of the features of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and disperse materials is essential for fur
