DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oier Bikondoa (ESRF-The European Synchrotron\, Greno
 ble\, France)\nScattering experiments based on coherent X-ray beams have o
 pened new possibilities for the investigation of soft and hard condensed m
 atter. X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) allows to access a wid
 e variety of dynamic phenomena at the nanoscale by studying the temporal c
 orrelations among photons that are scattered by a material when it is illu
 minated using a coherent X-ray beam. \nWe present two examples of XPCS stu
 dies on systems with slow dynamics that illustrate the capabilities of the
  technique in SAXS and GISAXS geometries: (a) Dynamics of ion beam eroded 
 surfaces\, which represent a paradigmatic case of sustained non-equilibriu
 m dynamics governed by the complex interplay between the mechanisms that t
 end to roughen and smoothen the surface [1]\; (b) An ongoing study on the 
 initial steps of self-assembly mechanism and gelation of a pH-sensitive lo
 w molecular weight  hydrogelator\, controlling both assembly rate and morp
 hology of the self-assembled structures.\nWe shall also discuss on the ben
 efits and possibilities that the new diffraction limited storage rings bri
 ng about for XPCS studies.\n\nhttps://lindico453.srv.lu.se/event/67/contri
