Abstract: Assume that a bounded scatterer is embedded into an infinite homogeneous isotropic background medium in two dimensions. The refractive index function is supposed to be piecewise constant. If the scattering interface contains a weakly or strongly singular point, we prove that the scattered field cannot vanish identically. This particularly leads to the absence of non-scattering energies for piecewise analytic interfaces with a weakly singular point. Local uniqueness is obtained for shape identification problems in inverse medium scattering with a single far-field pattern.
