The first three sections deal with adsorption and scattering of light by isolated particles and their ensembles in the absence of interaction, as well as with surface modes small particles and the effective dielectric function (effective medium approximations) for composite systems. The next three sections cover predominantly the newest advances of physics of small particles and composite media: optics of complex particles and fractal systems, quantum-size effects of various types, as well as nonlinear optics of composite media, where the nonlinear enhancement is considered as a result of the rise of the local field factor.<strong>ContentsPreface Absorption and scattering of light by single particles of arbitrary sizes Surface (local) modes in small particles Effective dielectric function of a heterosystem: classical theoretical notions and approaches Complex particles, clusters and fractal aggregates Quantum-size effects in micro/nanoparticles Nonlinear optics of composites

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
