We use discrete dipole approximation (DDA) to study the scattering properties of composite grains made up of host silicate spheroids and graphite inclusions. We calculate the extinction cross sections of the composite grains in the wavelength region 0.20–0.55 μm and study the extinction of the composite grains as a function of graphite inclusions. We present the composite grain model and discuss the results.
