摘要： X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) has emerged as a powerful tool for probing nanoscale dynamics of soft condensed matter and strongly correlated materials, offering high spatial resolution and high penetration capability. This technique requires high brilliance and beam coherence, which are not directly available at modern synchrotron beamlines in China. To pave the way for future XPCS experiments, we first modified the optical setup of the newly commissioned BL10U1 USAXS beamline at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). Subsequently, we carried out XPCS measurements on silica suspensions of glycerol, which were opaque in appearance due to high concentrations. Image series were collected by a high frame-rate area detector. Comprehensive analysis was carried out, yielding the correlation functions and several key dynamic parameters. All results agree well with the theory of Brownian motion, demonstrating the feasibility of XPCS at SSRF. Eventually, by carefully optimizing the setup and analyzing algorithms, we achieved a time resolution of 2 ms, enabling characterization of millisecond dynamics in opaque systems.
