ABSTRACT

Fourier transform based, dual-space iterative algorithms are applied to reconstruct both non-periodic and periodic objects from their X-ray scattering intensity distributions. For a non-periodic object, over-sampling to create a large non-support region is the key real-space constraint for a successful reconstruction. For a periodic object, over-sampling is not possible in a typical experimental setting, and the key real-space constraints are the lower and upper bounds of the electron number density, achieved efficiently through proper scattering intensity normalization.
