X-Ray Cross-Correlation Analysis of Disordered Ensembles of Particles: Potentials and Limitations

Figure 4

(a) Scattered intensity (logarithmic scale) calculated for a single asymmetric cluster (shown in the inset). (b) Coherently scattered intensity from a disordered system consisting of clusters in random position and orientation. Scattered signal corresponds to the incident fluence of and contains Poisson noise. (c) Scattered intensity corresponding to an asymmetric cluster recovered from diffraction patterns of the form (b). (d) Structure of a single cluster reconstructed by an iterative phase retrieval algorithm using the diffraction pattern shown in (c). The intensities in (a), (c) are given in arbitrary units, and in (b) in photon counts.
