Compared to conventional electron sources, the use of a highly coherent field-emission gun (FEG) in TEM improves the information resolution considerably. A direct interpretation of this extra information, however, is hampered since amplitude and phase of the electron wave are scrambled in a complicated way upon transfer from the specimen exit plane through the objective lens towards the image plane. In order to make the additional high-resolution information interpretable, a phase retrieval procedure is applied, which yields the aberration-corrected electron wave from a focal series of HRTEM images (Coene et al, 1992).Kirkland (1984) tackled non-linear image reconstruction using a recursive least-squares formalism in which the electron wave is modified stepwise towards the solution which optimally matches the contrast features in the experimental through-focus series. The original algorithm suffers from two major drawbacks : first, the result depends strongly on the quality of the initial guess of the first step, second, the processing time is impractically high.

Abstract. The spacing effect refers to the finding that memory for repeated items improves when the interrepetition interval increases. To explain the spacing effect in free-recall tasks, a two-factor model has been put forward that combines mechanisms of contextual variability and study-phase retrieval (e.g., Raaijmakers, 2003 ; Verkoeijen, Rikers, & Schmidt, 2004 ). An important, yet untested, implication of this model is that free recall of repetitions should follow an inverted u-shaped relationship with interrepetition spacing. To demonstrate the suggested relationship an experiment was conducted. Participants studied a word list, consisting of items repeated at different interrepetition intervals, either under incidental or under intentional learning instructions. Subsequently, participants received a free-recall test. The results revealed an inverted u-shaped relationship between free recall and interrepetition spacing in both the incidental-learning condition and the intentional-learning condition. Moreover, for intentionally learned repetitions, the maximum free-recall performance was located at a longer interrepetition interval than for incidentally learned repetitions. These findings are interpreted in terms of the two-factor model of spacing effects in free-recall tasks.

Technologies which utilize near-infrared (700 – 1000 nm) and short-wave infrared (1000 – 2000 nm) electromagnetic radiation have applications in deep-tissue imaging, telecommunications and satellite telemetry due to low scattering and decreased background signal in this spectral region. However, there are few molecular species, which absorb efficiently beyond 1000 nm. Transition dipole moment coupling (e.g. J-aggregation) allows for redshifted excitonic states and provides a pathway to highly absorptive electronic states in the infrared. We present aggregates of two cyanine dyes whose absorption peaks redshift dramatically upon aggregation in water from ~ 800 nm to 1000 nm and 1050 nm with sheet-like morphologies and high molar absorptivities (e ~ 10<sup>5 </sup>M<sup>-1</sup>cm<sup>-1</sup>). To describe this phenomenology, we extend Kasha’s model for J- and H-aggregation to describe the excitonic states of <i> 2-dimensional aggregates</i> whose slip is controlled by steric hindrance in the assembled structure. A consequence of the increased dimensionality is the phenomenon of an <i>intermediate </i>“I-aggregate”, one which redshifts yet displays spectral signatures of band-edge dark states akin to an H-aggregate. We distinguish between H-, I- and J-aggregates by showing the relative position of the bright (absorptive) state within the density of states using temperature dependent spectroscopy. Our results can be used to better design chromophores with predictable and tunable aggregation with new photophysical properties.

Hyperspectral technology has been used to identify pigments that adhere to the surfaces of polychrome artifacts. However, the colors are often produced by the mixing of pigments, which requires that the spectral characteristics of the pigment mixtures be considered before pigment unmixing is conducted. Therefore, we proposed an experimental approach to investigate the nonlinear degree of spectral reflectance, using several mixing models, and to evaluate their performances in the study of typical mineral pigments. First, five mineral pigments of azurite, malachite, cinnabar, orpiment, and calcite were selected to form five groups of samples, according to their different mass ratios. Second, a fully constrained least squares algorithm based on the linear model and three algorithms based on the nonlinear model were employed to calculate the proportion of each pigment in the mixtures. We evaluated the abundance accuracy as well as the similarity between the measured and reconstructed spectra produced by those mixing models. Third, we conducted pigment unmixing on a Chinese painting to verify the applicability of the nonlinear model. Fourth, continuum removal was also introduced to test the nonlinearity of mineral pigment mixing. Finally, the results indicated that the spectral mixing of different mineral pigments was more in line with the nonlinear mixing model. The spectral nonlinearity of mixed pigments was higher near to the wavelength corresponding to their colors. Meanwhile, the nonlinearity increased with the wavelength increases in the shortwave infrared bands.

AbstractPhase retrieval seeks to reconstruct the phase from the measured intensity, which is an ill-posed problem. A phase retrieval problem can be solved with physical constraints by modulating the investigated complex wavefront. Orbital angular momentum has been recently employed as a type of reliable modulation. The topological charge l is robust during propagation when there is atmospheric turbulence. In this work, topological modulation is used to solve the phase retrieval problem. Topological modulation offers an effective dynamic range of intensity constraints for reconstruction. The maximum intensity value of the spectrum is reduced by a factor of 173 under topological modulation when l is 50. The phase is iteratively reconstructed without a priori knowledge. The stagnation problem during the iteration can be avoided using multiple topological modulations.
