متن کاملRecovery of Small Inhomogeneities from the Scattering Amplitude at a Fixed Frequency
We derive rigorously the leading order term in the asymptotic expansion of the scattering amplitude of a collection of a finite number of dielectric inhomogeneities of small diameter. We then apply this formula for the purpose of identifying the location and certain properties of the shapes of the inhomogeneities using measurements of the scattering amplitude at a fixed frequency. Joint work wi...
متن کاملScattering of internal waves from small sea bottom inhomogeneities
The problem of scattering of linear internal waves from small compact sea bottom inhomogeneities is considered from the point of view of mode-to-mode scattering. A simple formula for modal conversion coefficients Cnm , quantifying the amount of energy that is scattered into the n-th mode from the incident field m-th mode, is derived. In this formula the representation of inhomogeneities by thei...
متن کاملScattering by many small inhomogeneities and applications
Many-body quantum-mechanical scattering problem is solved asymptotically when the size of the scatterers (inhomogeneities) tends to zero and their number tends to infinity. A method is given for calculation of the number of small inhomogeneities per unit volume and their intensities such that embedding of these inhomogeneities in a bounded region results in creating a new system, described by a...
متن کاملSmall-angle neutron scattering on polymer gels: phase behavior, inhomogeneities and deformation mechanisms
Recent developments in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) investigations on polymer gels are reviewed by encompassing (i) volume phase transition and microphase separation, (ii) inhomogeneities in polymer gels, (iii) pressure dependence of hydrophobic interaction and (iv) structural characterization of super-tough gels. These developments owe much to the understanding of gel inhomogeneities ...
