Self‐assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) has evolved into a powerful tool for the synthesis of
superstructures with tailored properties. The quality, diversity, and complexity of synthesized …

The Sample Environment and Characterization (SEC) group of the European X-ray Free-
Electron Laser (EuXFEL) develops sample delivery systems for the various scientific …

Alignment of anisotropic particles along specific orientations influences the mechanical and
rheological properties of a material. Small-angle scattering techniques are widely used to …

A study is presented of the oscillatory shear-ordering dynamics of viscoelastic photonic
crystal media, using an optical shear cell. The hard-sphere/“sticky”-shell design of these …

We introduce the setup of a versatile sample chamber for x-ray scattering experiments on
liquids delivered by μ-jets. The simple implementation at x-ray light sources, adaptability to …

The aim of this work was to explore the potential of a combined rheology and X-ray
scattering approach on complex fluids. Shear rates between 0.9· 105 s− 1 and 5.6· 105 s− 1 …

To determine the structure of (bio-) nanoparticles, and possibly, the dynamics and function of
it, the ultrashort and bright pulses generated from x-ray free-electron lasers can be used. X …
