Inverse scattering for the magnetic Schrödinger operator

We show that fixed energy scattering measurements for the magnetic Schrödinger operator uniquely determine the magnetic field and electric potential in dimensions n 3. The magnetic potential, its first derivatives, and the electric potential are assumed to be exponentially decaying. This improves an earlier result of Eskin and Ralston (1995) [5] which considered potentials with many derivatives. The proof is close to arguments in inverse boundary problems, and is based on constructing complex geometrical optics solutions to the Schrödinger equation via a pseudodifferential conjugation argument. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
