Short summary
Internal structures are common in atmospheric dust particles, yet their effects on light scattering are largely unstudied. In this work, we study how hematite nodes, internal voids and hematite-rich coating impact single-scattering properties of computationally generated irregular model particles. The results show that all of these features change scattering properties significantly, and that a simple effective-medium approximation is not enough to replicate the scattering properties.
