Image reconstruction of nanostructured nonperiodic objects only from oversampled hard x-ray diffraction intensities

چکیده
X-ray-diffraction microscopy images nanocrystals and nonperiodic objects by directly reconstructing from oversampled diffraction intensities. Successful image reconstruction of nonperiodic objects has so far required additional experiments to supplement the missing data in the diffraction intensities. Reconstruction only from diffraction data is desirable. We show that image reconstruction of nonperiodic objects can be done without any supplemental experiments by applying a modified hybrid input-output algorithm to experimental hard x-raydiffraction data of a nanostructured pattern.

Quantitative image reconstruction of GaN quantum dots from oversampled diffraction intensities alone.
The missing data problem, i.e., the intensities at the center of diffraction patterns cannot be experimentally measured, is currently a major limitation for wider applications of coherent diffraction microscopy. We report here that, when the missing data are confined within the centrospeckle, the missing data problem can be reliably solved. With an improved instrument, we recorded 27 oversample...
متن کاملReconstruction of the shapes of gold nanocrystals using coherent x-ray diffraction.
Inverse problems arise frequently in physics: The magnitude of the Fourier transform of some function is measurable, but not its phase. The "phase problem" in crystallography arises because the number of discrete measurements (Bragg peak intensities) is only half the number of unknowns (electron density points in space). Sayre first proposed that oversampling of diffraction data should allow a ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution ab initio three-dimensional x-ray diffraction microscopy.
Coherent x-ray diffraction microscopy is a method of imaging nonperiodic isolated objects at resolutions limited, in principle, by only the wavelength and largest scattering angles recorded. We demonstrate x-ray diffraction imaging with high resolution in all three dimensions, as determined by a quantitative analysis of the reconstructed volume images. These images are retrieved from the three-...
متن کاملStructure of a single particle from scattering by many particles randomly oriented about an axis: a new route to structure determination
The reconstruction of a high-resolution image of a single particle from scattering by several symmetrically equivalent ones has been demonstrated recently [1]. We present here a solution to the more general case of scattering by many particles, randomly oriented about an axis, The sustained x-ray or electron fluence needed for image reconstruction would destroy all high resolution detail if foc...
متن کاملHard X-ray Fourier transform holography from an array of oriented referenced objects
Hard X-ray Fourier transform holography (HXFTH) is a promising method for imaging nanoscale objects, including biological molecules, with a spatial resolution of a nanometer or better. However, it suffers from low scattering intensities being available for imaging owing to smaller object size and the low scattering cross section inherent in hard X-rays. One technique to overcome the problem wou...
