Multiple Solutions
1D Case (? 2N multiple solutions)
2D 3D Case (No multiple solutions)
Mathematically, 2D and 3D polynomials usually can
not be factorized.

Two Major Challenges
Radiation Damage
  • Solemn Baldwin, Science 218, 229 (1982).
  • Neutze et al., Nature 400, 752 (2000).
  • When an X-ray pulse is short enough ( lt 50
    fs), a 2D diffraction pattern could
  • be recorded from a molecule before it is
    destroyed.

Orientation Determination
Use the methods developed in cryo-EM to determine
the molecular orientation based on many 2D
diffraction patterns. Crowther, Phil. Trans.
Roy. Soc. Lond. B. 261, 221 (1971). Use laser
fields to physically align each molecule.
Larsen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2470 (2000).

Summary
  • Proposed a theoretical explanation to the
    oversampling method.
  • Carried out the first experiment of
    crystallography without crystals.
  • Opened a door to atomic resolution 3D X-ray
    diffraction microscopy.
  • Proposed 3D electron diffraction microscopy
    for achieving sub-atomic resolution.
  • Future application with the LCLS imaging
    non-crystalline materials
  • nanocrystals, and large biomoleucles.
