The propagation of scalar waves through random media that provide multiple elastic scattering is considered by derivation of an expression for the angular correlation of the scattered wave amplitudes. Coherent wave transmission is shown to occur through a mechanism similar to that responsible for coherent backscattering. While the properties of the scattered wave are generally consistent with r...

Perfect crystal neutron interferometry permits the simultaneous investigation of different interactions, like absorption, small angle scattering, and forward scattering. The coherent forward scattering of neutrons in materials or magnetic fields generates phase shifts, which can be detected with high sensitivity. The tomographic reconstruction of phase projections is similar to that of intensit...

The probability of a photon (x-ray, gamma-ray, bremsstrahlung, etc) of a given energy E undergoing absorption or scattering when traversing a layer of material Z can be expressed quantitatively in terms of a linear attenuation coefficient mu (cm(-1)). Since mu is dependent on the material's density, rho (g cm(-3)), which can be variable, the quantity usually tabulated is the mass attenuation co...

The majority of x-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques are based on measuring the scattered wave intensity in the far field. Probing the scattered wave field inside the sample, which can be effected by monitoring the absorption of particular atoms or nuclei of the sample, makes it possible to use Gabor's holographic formalism [1] to analyze the scattering pattern and to overcome the ...

The influence of phase-modulation on femtosecond time-resolved coherent Raman scattering is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The coherent Raman signal taken as a function of the spectral position shows unexpected temporal oscillations close to time zero. A theoretical analysis of the coherent Raman scattering process indicates that the femtosecond fight pulses are amplitude and ph...

High-pressure cryocooling has been developed as an alternative method for cryopreservation of macromolecular crystals and successfully applied for various technical and scientific studies. The method requires the preservation of crystal hydration as the crystal is pressurized with dry helium gas. Previously, crystal hydration was maintained either by coating crystals with a mineral oil or by en...

This paper presents a new approach to coherent population trapping in a A-type three level atomic configuration. This approach, which is based on scattering theory, applies when one of the two driving laser fields is much weaker than the other one. We show that the scattering amplitude of the weak field is the sum of 2 resonant amplitudes. The positions and the widths of these resonances are id...

We show how time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering can be used to identify interfering pathways in the relaxation dynamics of autoionizing transients in many-electron systems, on femto- and attosecond time scales. For coherent population of many states, autoionizing wave-packet dynamics is resolved. We identify bound-bound, continuum-bound, and bound-continuum-bound contributions a...

Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we have studied the initial stage (nucleation and oligomerization) of actin polymerization induced by raising temperature in a stepwise manner from 1°C to 30°C at low ionic strength (4.0 mg ml-1 actin in G-buffer). The SAXS experiments were started from the mono-disperse G-actin state, which was confirmed by comparing the scattering pattern in q- and r...
