  1. Time-dependent transformations & off-Hugoniot processes The scientific understanding of the dynamics of chemical and structural transitions can be dramatically advanced through the development of time-resolved x-ray diagnostics integrated with a variety of impulsive drives (pressure, temperature, photons, field) or pump-probe measurements. These advances will broadly address dynamic processes including reaction chemistry, phase changes, material performance, technological material synthesis, and basic science.

  4. Priority Research Directions and scientific challenges • PRD: Pulsed P/T/photon/EM field induced structural/chemical changes and dynamics • Non-equilibrium transformations and “equilibrium” phase boundary, e.g., superheating/supercooling, over-/under-pressurization. • A wide variety of materials, hard/soft materials including proteins, and processes. • Nano-, microscale microstructure interactions and evolution • Scientific challenges: • Atomic rearrangement: lattice structure and interface (scattering/imaging), including nanomaterials. • Valance (XEAFS); spin (e.g., domain walls); photon, electron, spin, phonon interactions; chemistry (spectroscopy). • Complementary physical properties: mechanical, electrical, magnetic, transport… • Dynamics/kinetics for thermo-mechano-chemical pathways: phonons, phase changes, chemical reactions, plasticity (loading, and detection).
