The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

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

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 …

The complete quantitative description of the structure of dense and supercooled liquids
remains a notoriously difficult problem in statistical physics. Most studies to date focus solely …

We characterise structure and dynamics of concentrated suspensions of silicone-stabilised
PMMA particles immersed in index-matching decalin–tetralin mixtures by means of static …

The gelation of PEGylated gold nanoparticles dispersed in a glycerol–water mixture is
probed in situ by x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Following the evolution of structure …

The dynamics and time scales of higher-order correlations are studied in supercooled
colloidal systems. A combination of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and X-ray …

We study the structure and dynamics of colloidal particles with a spherical hard core and a
thermo-responsive soft shell over the whole phase diagram by means of small-angle x-ray …

Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), the go-to process for a variety of chemical separations, is
limited by spontaneous organic phase splitting upon sufficient solute loading, called third …

The aggregation and onset of gelation of PEGylated gold nanoparticles dispersed in a
glycerol–water mixture is studied by small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray photon …
