Abstract
This paper presents the results of a theoretical study of light scattering cross-sections in liquid crystals containing small spherical particles, using the anomalous-diffraction approach. We consider the cases of separate particles and particle network in nematics. Particularly it is shown that for a dipole director configuration around the particle the light scattering is about two orders of value stronger than for a Saturn ring one; for a particle network the nature of the network domain orientational distribution influences the intensity of light scattering, but has little effect on its angular dependence.
