We present an exact solution to the one-dimensional (1-D) scattering-from-a-barrier problem for an incident neutron described by a wave packet. As an aid to presenting our approach, we spend some time on a basic review of how wave packets…
Asymptotic solution to many-body wave scattering problem is given in the case of many small scatterers. The small scatterers can be particles whose physical properties are described by the boundary impedances, or they can be small…
It is proved that if the scattering amplitudes at a fixed wavenumber for two obstacles from a certain large class of obstacles differ a little, than the obstacles differ a little. Error estimate is given. It is proved that there is an…
Prompted by recent experimental developments, a theory of surface scattering of fast atoms at grazing incidence is developed. The theory gives rise to a quantum mechanical limit for ordered surfaces that describes coherent diffraction peaks…
This paper develops a scattering theory for the asymmetric transport observed at interfaces separating two-dimensional topological insulators. Starting from the spectral decomposition of an unperturbed interface Hamiltonian, we present a…
The scattering of waves by obstacles in a 2D setting is considered, in particular the computation of the scattered field via the collocation or the least-squares methods. In the case of multiple scattering by smooth obstacles, we prove that…
We investigate factorized scattering from a reflecting and transmitting impurity. Bulk scattering is non trivial, provided that the bulk scattering matrix depends separately on the spectral parameters of the colliding particles, and not…

We derive an analytical expression for the scattering of a scalar wave from a perfectly conducting self-affine one dimensional surface in the framework of the Kirchhoff approximation. We show that most of the results can be recovered via a…

In scattering theory the far field pattern describes the directional dependence of a time-harmonic wave scattered by an obstacle or inhomogeneous medium, when observed sufficiently far away from these objects. Considering plane wave…
We examine the applicability of the weak wave turbulence theory in explaining experimental scaling results obtained for the diffusion and relative diffusion of particles moving on turbulent surface waves. For capillary waves our theoretical…
We show that experiments clearly verify the assumptions made by the first-order two-wave coupling theory for one dimensional lossless unslanted planar volume holographic gratings using the beta-value method rather than Kogelnik's K-vector…
A simple and explicit technique for the numerical solution of the two-particle, time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation is assembled and tested. The technique can handle interparticle potentials that are arbitrary functions of the…
The scattering of relativistic Dirac particles by a Coulomb field $\pm Ze^2/r$ in two dimensions is studied and the scattering amplitude is obtained as a partial wave series. For small $Z$ the series can be summed up approximately to give a…
Wave-packet scattering from a stationary potential is significantly modified when the wave-packet is subject to an external time-dependent force during the interaction. In the semiclassical limit, wave--packet motion is simply described by…
We develop a self-consistent theory of temporal fluctuations of a speckle pattern resulting from the multiple scattering of a coherent wave in a weakly nonlinear disordered medium. The speckle pattern is shown to become unstable if the…
Scattering of electromagnetic waves by many small particles of arbitrary shapes is reduced rigorously to solving linear algebraic system of equations bypassing the usual usage of integral equations. The matrix elements of this linear…
Recent advances in twistor theory are applied to geometric optics in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$. The general formulae for reflection of a wavefront in a surface are derived and in three special cases explicit descriptions are provided: when the…
