Annotation

Monte Carlo simulation and Mie theory were successfully applied to find the optimum size of titanium dioxide nanoparticles 30–200 nm in diameter suspended in a layer of a transparent medium, which ensure the most efficient attenuation and depolarization of UV radiation in the 288–400 nm wavelength range.
