Recent Advances in Condensed Matter Physics with Synchrotron Radiation
Sunday, June 17, 2007 (half-day workshop)
Description: The workshop will address question on the forefront of condensed matter physics today. John Tse will demonstrate how phonon dispersion and other vibrational information can be obtained from inelastic scattering and is used to probe structure and dynamics. Mark Sutton will introduce the audience to X-ray intensity fluctuation spectroscopy or X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and how these techniques allow to directly measure the structural fluctuations in condensed matter. George Sawatzky will give an overview how elastic X-ray scattering is used to probe fine fluctuations of spin and charge in correlated electron systems.
