ABSTRACTThe dynamic structure factor S(q, t) of ultra-high molecular mass diblock copolymers BC in a common solvent was systematically investigated by photon correlation spectroscopy in different regimes of the phase diagram. Through proper probing of the composition fluctuations in symmetric and asymmetric BC the different relaxation mechanisms were identified and the influence of the disorder to order (ODT) transition was assessed. In the disordered regime, S(q, t) sensitively depends on the composition polydispersity of BC and the proximity to ODT complementing the real phase morphology of BC. The dynamic response of BC is therefore predictable.

Understanding and designing sophisticated new materials require measurements of not only their average structural properties but also their dynamic behavior. X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) provides this information by characterizing fluctuations in condensed matter across a broad range of length scales and timescales. Over the past two decades, XPCS has provided a wide variety of results in the study of materials properties. In this review, we provide an overview of coherence, photon correlation spectroscopy, and the dynamic structure factor as well as information on the mechanics of XPCS experiments. We highlight the impact that this infrastructure has had on materials research and the bright future that is forthcoming with the anticipated upgrade of many third-generation synchrotron sources to fourth-generation multibend achromat sources.
