| Program | Ultrafast coherent X-ray imaging, scattering and spectroscopy are essential tools for understanding and quantifying the functionality of nanoscale systems in space and time domains. In particular, Soft X-ray/EUV light from compact High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) sources [1, 2] has proved extremely powerful for investigating dynamic electronic, phononic and magnetic properties in complex nanostructured systems [3-5], with nanometer spatial resolution and pulse durations in the femtosecond (fs)-to-attosecond (as) range. Specifically, the combination of HHG EUV light with ptychographic coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) [6, 7] enabled revolutionary capabilities, spanning a broad range from Bragg coherent small-angle scattering to ultrafast and hyperspectral imaging. In this talk I will present my work in ultrafast coherent diffractive imaging and scattering using pulsed EUV and electron sources. I will provide examples of soft Xray-CDI applications in ultrafast full-field imaging of thermal and acoustic dynamics in individual nanostructures [8, 9]. Next, I will discuss how order/disorder correlations in colloidal crystals can be retrieved with small-angle scattering from highly coherent EUV light [10] and from partially coherent pulsed electron sources [11, 12], showing how the two approaches enable the visualization of complementary information in the spatial domain. The combination of these cutting-edge ultrafast techniques with advances in coherent imaging can be harnessed to carry out full-field non-destructive imaging of dynamically functioning nano-assemblies and interfaces, with exquisite amplitude (i.e. material composition) and phase (i.e. height) contrast.
