study of some problems in radiative transfer

The problem of particle transfer in finite plane parallel medium is reduced to a problem of semi-infinite medium by means of the embedding technique. This technique is used to calculate the energy albedo, sputtering coefficients and leakage currents for different scattering kernels in the slowing down region. in chapter (4) we construct an asymptotic solution for inhomogeneous layers on the basis of the corresponding solutions for homogeneous sub-layer. A functional relations which gives the reflection and transmission coefficients for the whole slab in terms of the corresponding one of the sub - layers are obtained. The concepts of the invariant embedding is used to calculate the albedo for each sub-layers. Numerical results are given for different slowing down kernel
