Soft X-ray Speckles: Nanoscale Dynamics in Liquids and Solids

October 18, 2000
Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, SLAC

Training Center: A&B

 

Organizers:
Stephen Kevan, University of Oregon and  Jan Lüning, SSRL


Transverse coherence is likely to be the least explored property of synchrotron radiation, and only very recently have a few groups started to take advantage of it. One promising application is x-ray dynamic light scattering (or photon correlation spectroscopy) which as a photon-in/photon-out technique can be applied to a wide variety of sample systems in various environments and applied fields. The goal of this workshop is to gain an overview about experience obtained using soft x-rays for dynamic scattering and to discuss future developments. Also, experimental needs will be addressed which is of importance in view of the new soft x-ray capabilities at SSRL with SPEAR3.
