Theory and design of photon correlation and light-scattering experiments
Abstract:
The inversion of photon correlation functions, angular light-scattering intensities, and spectral turbidity measurements to recover particle-size distributions and the inversion of photon-counting distributions to determine underlying intensity fluctuation distributions are all ill-conditioned problems whose solutions depend sensitively on noise in the data. The special techniques and precautions required for obtaining reliable results and the implications for experimental design are discussed. An example is presented that shows the weakness of the positivity constraint on the solution of ill-conditioned problems such as these.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
