AbstractA long standing problem is completely solved here for the first time. This problem was posed by K. Chadan and P. C. Sabatier in their classical book “Inverse Problems in Quantum Scattering Theory”, Springer, New York, 1977. The inverse scattering problem of the reconstruction of the unknown potential with a compact support in the three-dimensional Schrödinger equation is considered. Only the modulus of the scattering complex-valued wave field is known, whereas the phase is unknown. It is shown that the unknown potential can be reconstructed via the inverse Radon transform. This solution has potential applications in imaging of nanostructures.

Consider the fixed-ℓ inverse scattering problem. We show that the zeros of the regular solution of the Schrödinger equation, rn(E), which are monotonic functions of the energy, determine a unique potential when the domain of the energy is such that the rn(E) range from zero to infinity. This suggests that the use of the mixed data of phase-shifts {δ(ℓ0, k), k ≥ k0} ∪ {δ(ℓ, k0), ℓ ≥ ℓ0}, for which the zeros of the regular solution are monotonic in both domains, and range from zero to infinity, offers the possibility of determining the potential in a unique way.
