Using mixed data in the inverse scattering problem
Consider the fixed- inverse scattering problem. We show that the zeros
of the regular solution of the Schr\"odinger equation, , which are
monotonic functions of the energy, determine a unique potential when the domain
of the energy is such that the range from zero to infinity. This
suggests that the use of the mixed data of phase-shifts
, for which the zeros of the regular solution are monotonic in both domains,
and range from zero to infinity, offers the possibility of determining the
potential in a unique way.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. Talk given at the Conference of Inverse Quantum

Circular polarization memory in polydisperse scattering media
We investigate the survival of circularly polarized light in random scattering media. The surprising persistence of this form of polarization has a known dependence on the size and refractive index of scattering particles, however a general description regarding polydisperse media is lacking. Through analysis of Mie theory, we present a means of calculating the magnitude of circular polarization memory in complex media, with total generality in the distribution of particle sizes and refractive indices. Quantification of this memory effect enables an alternate pathway toward recovering particle size distribution, based on measurements of diffusing circularly polarized light
Anisotropic diffusion in continuum relaxation of stepped crystal surfaces
We study the continuum limit in 2+1 dimensions of nanoscale anisotropic
diffusion processes on crystal surfaces relaxing to become flat below
roughening. Our main result is a continuum law for the surface flux in terms of
a new continuum-scale tensor mobility. The starting point is the Burton,
Cabrera and Frank (BCF) theory, which offers a discrete scheme for atomic steps
whose motion drives surface evolution. Our derivation is based on the
separation of local space variables into fast and slow. The model includes: (i)
anisotropic diffusion of adsorbed atoms (adatoms) on terraces separating steps;
(ii) diffusion of atoms along step edges; and (iii) attachment-detachment of
atoms at step edges. We derive a parabolic fourth-order, fully nonlinear
partial differential equation (PDE) for the continuum surface height profile.
An ingredient of this PDE is the surface mobility for the adatom flux, which is
a nontrivial extension of the tensor mobility for isotropic terrace diffusion
derived previously by Margetis and Kohn. Approximate, separable solutions of
the PDE are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur
