It is well-known that the degeneracy of two-phase microstructures with the same volume fraction and two-point correlation function $S_2(\mathbf{r})$ is generally infinite. To elucidate the degeneracy problem explicitly, we examine Debye…
Two-point correlation functions provide crucial yet incomplete characterization of microstructures because different microstructures may have the same correlation function. In an earlier Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 080601 (2012)], we…
In the reconstruction process of unknown multiple scattering objects in inverse medium scattering problems, the first important step is to effectively locate some approximate domains that contain all inhomogeneous media. Without such an…

Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are distinguishable states of matter that lie between a crystal and liquid: they are like perfect crystals in the way they suppress large-scale density fluctuations and yet are like liquids or…
A fascinating inverse problem that has been receiving considerable attention is the construction of realizations of random two-phase heterogeneous media with a target two-point correlation function. However, not every hypothetical two-point…
