Experimental Technique

The Resonant Coherent Scattering (RCS) beamline applies several X-ray scattering techniques to study the fine structure and molecular dynamics of a large variety of samples, including functional organic films, photo resists, liquid crystals, nanoparticle colloids, bio-macromolecules, and quantum materials. Resonant X-ray scattering in the soft & tender X-ray regime enables studies of heterogenies structures with high chemical and orientational sensitivity for a broad range of elements. X-ray photon correlation combined with resonant edges probes molecular dynamics of specific segments in the samples. Resonant elastic X-ray scattering combined with variable polarization, low temperature, and high magnetic field enables the structure determination of magnetic and superconducting materials under various conditions.
