Abstract

In my talk, I will present some opportunities of scientific investigation by micro-spectro-scattering in the soft X-ray regime, as implemented and developed at CSX, the Coherent Soft X-ray scattering beamline of NSLS-II (BNL). The peculiarity of such an integrated approach in terms of space, time, penetration depth, energy scales, correlations, allows revealing unique properties and shining new light on a variety of interesting cases. Electronic orderings, inhomogeneities, self-organization, collective dynamics and interplay of degrees of freedom will be presented, together with some future ideas.

• PhD obtained from Parma University (Parma, I)

• 7 years at the ESRF (Grenoble, F) on the magnetic scattering beamline (hard x-rays), studying strongly correlated electron systems and frustrated magnetic phases;

• in partial overlap with an invited professorship at the Univ. of Nancye (Nancye, F) for the investigation of piezoelectric materials (hard x-ray diffraction and resonant diffraction);

• 4 year at the Politecnico di Milano (Milano, I), focusing on the investigation of high temperature supercondutors by soft resonant inelastic and hard resonant elastic x-ray scattering;
