Resolving States of Matter in Space and Time by Coherent Soft X-Ray Scattering

Recently we succeeded in showing how states of matter - magnetic domain configurations in the specific - can be recognized and accessedby the novel Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering full field imaging, or other more traditional techniques when special analysis is added. Building on our experience in dynamics and time domain analysis, we proved the ability to disentangle intertwined details in space and time, thus accessing microscopic information in a completely new way. In my talk, I will show the proof of principle of the above approach, and conclude by surfing across some long standing problems in condensed matter physics which could naturally benefit from this new approach.
