Outline

• Introduction to X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS)→ Coherence and Speckles→ Diffusive dynamics of colloidal suspensions→ “Standard” (single-speckle) and multispeckle XPCS

• XPCS-microfluidics: measuring the mesoscale dynamics in sheared complex fluids→ Motivations→ SAXS-compatible microfluidic devices→ XPCS in a shear flow→ “transverse” (Q⊥v), “longitudinal” (Q ||v) scattering geometry

• Slow dynamics and aging in colloidal gels→ Colloid / polymer mixtures: phase behaviour→ Non-equilibrium and non-stationary dynamics: two-time correlation functions→ Jamming phenomena; jamming transition in aging colloidal gels→ Colloidal gels in microfluidic devices

• Conclusions & Outlook→ XPCS-flow experiments in soft-matter model systems and biological systems

Thespeckle patternis observed only if the event is repeated several times (good statistics). There-occurence of an event under non-ideal conditions leads to theloss of the speckle pattern(phase information). E.g.:→ Ein, Eout, k in, kout are not well defined→ disorder in the sample

→ unsufficient detector resolution→ chaotic source . . .

Diffusion constantD associated withthe Brownian dynamics of free col-loidal particles (radiusa) in shearflow as a function ofq measured ina transverse (q⊥v) scattering geome-try for three volume flow rates. Thesolid line shows the value for the dif-fusion constant calculated by usingthe Einstein-Stokes equation,

D0 = kBT6πηa.

The shear rates are estimated using,

γ = 3vR .

Conclusions and outlook

• XPCS + “microfluidics”: first studies have been performed oncolloidal suspensions undergoing (simple) Brownian motion→ it is possible to measure the diffusive dynamics

• X-ray + “microfluidics” studies ofnucleation, growth and aggre-gation phenomena in soft mattere.g.: sol-gel proc. - ongoing LT collaboration ESRF/CNRS-Rhodia Bordeaux

→ Colloidal gels, Aggregation of fibroin, etc.

• these methods mitigate beam damage, which is a major limiting factor in the study of softmatter and biological systems and will become even more important at future light sources

• Changes in the aggregation state of proteins are responsible e.g. for cataract formation inthe human eye lens and neuronal cell death involbed in Alzheimer’s disease.→ kinetics and the dynamics of such processes using XPCS + microfluidics.
