Grazing-Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) and X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) studies of island growth in two different systems are presented: 5 ML of iron on MgO(001) and 10 ML of iron on Au(001). Due to a missing conducting surface Fe/MgO thinner than approximately 20 ML could not be studied previously by common methods like STM. Fe/Au(001) is interesting as atoms of gold diffuse easily through iron layers and form precipitates. The coarsening dynamics of these precipitates is investigated by XPCS in GISAXS geometry. Their growth depends on the crystallographic directions of the substrate and correlates with the morphology measured by STM microscopy. Measurements were performed at the ESRF in Grenoble.

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.

The new technique of atomic-scale X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (aXPCS) makesuse of a coherent X-ray beam to study the dynamics of various processes in condensed matter systems.Particularly atomistic migration mechanisms are still far from being understood in most of intermetallicalloys and in amorphous systems. Special emphasis must be given to the opportunity to measureatomistic diffusion at relatively low temperatures where such measurements were far out of reach withpreviously established methods. The importance of short-range order is demonstrated on the basis ofMonte Carlo simulations.

Recent Developments

Multi-speckle X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) is a powerful technique for characterizing the dynamic nature of complex materials over a range of time scales. XPCS has been successfully applied to study a wide range of systems. Recent developments in higher-frame-rate detectors, while aiding in the study of faster dynamical processes, creates large amounts of data that require parallel computational techniques to process in near real-time. Here, an implementation of the multi-tau and two-time autocorrelation algorithms using the Hadoop MapReduce framework for distributed computing is presented. The system scales well with regard to the increase in the data size, and has been serving the users of beamline 8-ID-I at the Advanced Photon Source for near real-time autocorrelations for the past five years.
