Soft matter is studied with a large portfolio of methods. Light scattering and video microscopy
are the most employed at optical wavelengths. Light scattering provides ensemble-averaged …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

In this article we review some of the most important new developments in light scattering that
have emerged over the past 10 years. Some of the new methods substantially extend the …

We report on the observation and application of near-field speckles with a laboratory x-ray
source. The detection of speckles is possible thanks to the enhanced brilliance properties of …

A colloidal system represents a multiphase (heterogeneous) system, in which at least one of
the phases exists in the form of very small particles: typically smaller than 1 µm but still much …

We describe the use of a bright-field microscope for dynamic light scattering experiments on
weakly scattering samples. The method is based on collecting a time sequence of …

Whenever coherent radiation impinges on a scattering object, a speckled intensity pattern is
produced. In the far field the speckle size and shape do not mirror any properties of the …

We use dynamic near field scattering to measure the dynamics of concentration non
equilibrium fluctuations at the steady-state of Soret separation. The analysis reveals that …

We provide a detailed analysis of the three-dimensional spatial coherence properties of light
speckles, based on very general assumptions. We show that, while in the deep Fresnel …

In this paper we report on recent two-dimensional (2D) electron beam size measurements
with a nonconventional synchrotron radiation interferometric technique based on x-ray …
