The scattering characteristics of the periodic surface of infinite and finite media are investigated in detail. The Fourier expression of the scattering field of the periodic surface is obtained in terms of Huygens's principle and Floquet's theorem. Using the extended boundary condition method (EBCM) and T-matrix method, the scattering amplitude factor is solved, and the correctness of the algorithm is verified by use of the law of conservation of energy. The scattering cross section of the periodic surface in the infinitely long region is derived by improving the scattering cross section of the finite period surface. Furthermore, the effects of the incident wave parameters and the geometric structure parameters on the scattering of the periodic surface are analyzed and discussed. By reasonable approximation, the scattering calculation methods of infinite and finite long surfaces are unified. Besides, numerical results show that the dielectric constant of the periodic dielectric surface has a significant effect on the scattering rate and transmittance. The period and amplitude of the surface determine the number of scattering intensity peaks, and, together with the incident angle, influence the scattering intensity distribution.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
