A new method reconstructs scattering object structures using photon scanning tunneling microscopy data. This technique interprets defocused near-field holograms to solve the inverse scattering problem for 2D models.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Microscopy
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Photon scanning tunneling microscopy (PSTM) generates near-field hologram data.
  • Interpreting defocused PSTM data is challenging due to field uninterpretability.
  • Reconstructing object structure from such data requires advanced methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for reconstructing scattering object structures from PSTM data.
  • To interpret defocused near-field holograms acquired at a distance from the sample.
  • To solve the inverse scattering problem for object structure determination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing data from a photon scanning tunneling microscope.
  • Interpreting the acquired data as a Gabor type near-field hologram.

    • Interpretation of normally uninterpretable, defocused field data.
    • Accuracy achieved within a perturbative, two-dimensional model.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method enables object structure reconstruction from PSTM data.
    • Defocused near-field holograms can be effectively utilized for structural analysis.
    • The inverse scattering approach provides a viable pathway for PSTM data interpretation.
