Appl Phys Lett. 2010 Dec 13;97(24):243704. doi: 10.1063/1.3524523. Epub 2010 Dec 17.

We report a study of the nanoscale mass-density fluctuations of heterogeneous optical dielectric media, including nanomaterials and biological cells, by quantifying their nanoscale light-localization properties. Transmission electron microscope images of the media are used to construct corresponding effective disordered...
