  1. Opportunities in Soft Matter Research at NSLS II Micro-SAXS experiments X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy New Things with Coherence

  2. GISAXS from Polymer Brushes on Micromechanical Cantilevers Investigation of micromechanical cantilever sensors with microfocus grazing incidence small-angle x-ray scatteringMarkus Wolkenhauer, Gina-Gabriela Bumbu, and Yajun ChengMax Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Ackermannweg 10, D-55128 Mainz, GermanyStephan V. RothHASYLAB at DESY, Notkestr. 85, D-22603 Hamburg, GermanyJochen S. GutmannMax Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Ackermannweg 10, D-55128 Mainz, Germany and Institute for Physical Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University, Jakob-Welder-Weg 10, D-55099 Mainz, Germany

  3. Micro-SAXS of Feather Microstructure: What Makes Blue Jays Blue? New Metamaterials Prum, R. O., Torres, R. H., Williamson, S., and Dyck, J. 1998. Coherent light scattering by blue bird feather barbs. Nature 396: 28-29.

  4. Chromatin Structure: A Grand Challenge for Structural Biology

  5. X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy for the Dynamics of Soft Matter Pop quiz: Which is the liquid? Which is the glass?

  6. X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy for the Dynamics of Soft Matter (cont.)

  7. Higher-Order Correlation Functions Under coherent illumination, x-rays give I(Q,t) not <I(Q,t)>

  8. Higher-Order Correlation Functions (cont.) For non-Gaussian processes, such as those showing intermittent dynamics, as expected near a glass transition, there’s extra information in higher order correlation functions e.g. G4=<I(0)I(t1)I(t2)I(t3)>

  9. Heterodyne Near-Field Speckle: A Superior Method for USAXS and USAXPCS Space Intensity Correlations in the Near Field of the Scattered Light: A Direct Measurement of the Density Correlation Function g(r)M.
