title: Brewster's scattering angle in scattered waves from slightly rough metal surfaces
abstract: Brewster's scattering angle in electromagnetic wave scattering from slightly random metal surfaces is investigated by means of the stochastic functional approach. While there are dips due to Brewster's scattering angle in scattering profiles from dielectric surfaces, Brewster's scattering angle does not exist in scattering from metal surfaces. However, the dips can exist in scattering from rough metal surfaces with the optically denser medium to convert evanescent wave into radiative wave.
