X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) was employed to measure the time-dependent intermediate scattering function in an organic molecular glass former. Slow translational dynamics were probed in the glassy state and the correlation functions were calculated from two-dimensional speckle patterns recorded by a CCD detector. The image frames were analysed using a droplet algorithm together with an event correlation scheme. This method provides results analogous to standard intensity correlation algorithms but is much faster, hence addressing the recurrent problem of insufficient computing power for online analysis in XPCS. The event correlator has a wide range of potential future applications at synchrotrons and free-electron laser sources.

ABSTRACTNematic liquid crystal filled with Aerosil particles prospective inorganic-organic nanocom-posite material for optoelectronic application has been investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The aerosil particles of diameter ≈ 10 nm in filled nematic liquid crystals form a network structure with linear size of LC domains about 250 nm and with random distribution of the director orientation of each domain. This material has a very developed liquid crystal-solid particle interface that makes the role of the surface layers of LC important in the determination of the properties of the material. BDS provides information on reorientational motion of polar molecules of liquid crystal while PCS probes dynamics of collective modes associated with director fluctuations. We found that the properties of 5CB are considerably affected by the network. Two bulk-like dielectric modes due to the rotation of molecules around short axes and the tumbling motion were observed in filled 5CB. Additionally, a low frequency relaxation process and dispersion of dielectric permittivity due to conductivity were observed. The treatment of the surface of filling particles has strongest influence on the properties of the slow process and it is less important for molecular modes. PCS experiment shows that two new relaxation processes appear in filled 5CB in addition to the director fluctuations process in bulk.

Scattering Technique

X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) enables the study of sample dynamics between micrometer and atomic length scales. As a coherent scattering technique, it benefits from the increased brilliance of the next-generation synchrotron radiation and Free-Electron Laser (FEL) sources. In this article, we will introduce the XPCS concepts and review the latest developments of XPCS with special attention on the extension of accessible time scales to sub-μs and the application of XPCS at FELs. Furthermore, we will discuss future opportunities of XPCS and the related technique X-ray speckle visibility spectroscopy (XSVS) at new X-ray sources. Due to its particular signal-to-noise ratio, the time scales accessible by XPCS scale with the square of the coherent flux, allowing to dramatically extend its applications. This will soon enable studies over more than 18 orders of magnitude in time by XPCS and XSVS.
