X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) enables the study of sample dynamics
between micrometer and atomic length scales. As a coherent scattering technique, it …

Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

Nucleation is an activated process in which the system has to overcome a free energy
barrier in order for a first-order phase transition between the metastable and the stable …

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 …

Self‐assembled nanocrystal superlattices have attracted large scientific attention due to their
potential technological applications. However, the nucleation and growth mechanisms of …

During the self-organization of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles by solvent
evaporation, nanoparticle interactions are substantially determined by the organic ligands …

Methods of coherent X-ray diffraction imaging of the spatial structure of noncrystalline
objects and nanocrystals (nanostructures) are considered. Particular attention is paid to the …

We investigated the structure of ice under nanoporous confinement in periodic mesoporous
organosilicas (PMOs) with different organic functionalities and pore diameters between 3.4 …

Despite intensive studies in the past decades, the local structure of disordered matter
remains widely unknown. We show the results of a coherent x-ray scattering study revealing …

This chapter reviews the topic of angular intensity correlations in X‐ray diffraction. A basic
theoretical description of quantities related to angular correlations in a simple X‐ray …
