Mark Sutton uses x-ray diffraction to study the time-dependent behaviour of materials. Using the new synchrotron x-ray sources, he has developed new methods to perform in-situ time-resolved measurements which probe matter on nanometer length scales and with millisecond time resolution. These measurements give unique insight into how such dynamics effects the every-day properties of materials.

Mark Sutton is an internationally renowned experimentalist who uses x-ray diffraction to study the behavior of non-equilibrium condensed matter. Using high intensity x-ray synchrotron radiation, he has developed techniques to perform time-resolved diffraction with millisecond time resolution to study the kinetics of phase transitions. He was also instrumental in developing and applying the important new technique of x-ray fluctuation spectroscopy. This technique exploits the unique properties of the coherent radiation from undulator sources, as well as recent developments in x-ray optics and detector technology to probe the structure of matter down to nanometer length scales and millisecond time resolutions.
