Rare-earth nickelates (RNiO₃) exhibit a rich interplay of electronic, magnetic, and structural phase transitions, including a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT). While these transitions have been widely studied, spontaneous fluctuations across the phase transition are mostly unexplored. Such fluctuations are increasingly recognized for enabling stochastic functionality in neuromorphic...
Protein dynamics in crowded and hydrated environments span nanometer length scales and microsecond time windows that remain difficult to access with established techniques such as neutron spin echo or NMR relaxometry. Recent advances in coherent X-ray sources have made X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) [1] a powerful addition to this toolbox, enabling direct access to collective...
Understanding and visualizing magnetic configurations at the nanoscale is essential for elucidating the mechanisms governing material functionality and optimizing advanced technologies, from energy-efficient devices to next-generation spintronic architectures. One promising technique that provides high spatial resolution imaging of magnetic configurations is dichroic ptychography, a coherent...
