The workshop will take place in Nordita, Stockholm and is currently planned as an onsite event. The goal is to collect science cases related to fluctuations in soft matter in the form of a report or a review paper that highlights the state of the art of the field relevant to the new LSRIs that are becoming available to the Nordic communities.
Key topics:
- Dynamical heterogeneities in supercooled liquids and glasses
- Water and aqueous solutions structure and dynamics
- Fluctuations, jamming and gelation in crowded protein conditions
- Liquid-liquid phase separation in biomolecular systems
- Atomic scale dynamics of metallic glasses
- Protein hydration water and the protein dynamic transition
Relevant techniques:
- X-ray based methods: Time-resolved small and wide-angle X-ray scattering (t-SAXS, t-WAXS), X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS).
- Neutron based methods: Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS), inelastic neutron scattering (INS), neutron spin echo (NSE), neutron backscattering (NBS), and neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer
- Simulation methods: Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, Ab-initio modelling, Machine learning and non-equilibrium statistical physics.
