L. I. Porod

L. I. Porod was a physicist known for his work in the field of scattering, particularly X-ray and neutron scattering in materials science. He developed what is known as Porod's law, which describes how the intensity of scattered radiation decreases as the angle increases when examining small, irregular, or surface-rich structures like nanoparticles or porous materials. In simple terms, Porod's law helps scientists understand the surface properties and structures of complex materials by analyzing how they scatter radiation. This insight aids in characterizing materials' shapes, sizes, and surface roughness at a microscopic level.
