The space-group symmetry of a crystal structure imposes a point-group symmetry on its diffraction pattern, giving rise to so-called symmetry-equivalent reflections. Instances in macromolecular crystallography are discussed in which the symmetry in reciproc ...
The combined effect of dislocation source strength tau(s), dislocation obstacle strength tau(obs), and obstacle spacing L(obs) on the yield stress of single crystal metals is investigated analytically and numerically. A continuum theory of dislocation pile ...
We investigate two-photon-induced fluorescence for organic chromophores next to elongated gold disks which support plasmonic resonances. By polyelectrolyte coating, the dye is placed in a defined concentration at a defined distance from the surface. A fluo ...
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) provides an opportunity to study the dynamics of systems by measuring the temporal fluctuations in a far-field diffraction pattern. A two-dimensional detector system has been developed to investigate fluctuation ...
We propose a new measurement technique to investigate the highly focused light used in optical data storage systems named immersion high resolution interference microscopy (HRIM). This system allows three-dimensional (3D) measurements of the amplitude and ...
A theoretical approach based on coupled-mode theory is presented in order to determine the radiation pattern of LEDs incorporating a shallow photonic crystal. From this, a fundamental limit for the directionality of the diffraction of a single guided mode ...
Odd electron diffraction patterns (EDPs) have been obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on silicon nanowires grown via the vapour-liquid-solid method and on silicon thin films deposited by electron beam evaporation. Many explanations have bee ...
Dislocations are known for their peculiar effects on the diffraction profiles. Each given dislocation type, produces specific anisotropic line broadening basically determined by the so-called contrast factor (CF). Owing to the lack of a suitable mathematic ...
We report on a new, multi-functional second harmonic generation digital holographic microscope that allows retrieval of an object complex diffraction wavefront at both second harmonic and fundamental wavelengths. ...
We show nanometer-level localization accuracy of a single quantum-dot in three dimensions by self-interference and diffraction-pattern analysis. We believe that this approach has the capacity to push optical microscopy to the molecular level. ...
