The realization of quantum materials for energy
science and quantum information applications requires an understanding of
competing electronic phases spanning multiple scales of energy, time and
length. Operating since 2014, the National Synchrotron Light Source II
(NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has become a nexus for X-ray based
studies of the electronic properties to advance knowledge of these key issues.
Following an overview of NSLS-II and its beamlines tailored for quantum
materials research, this talk will review the capabilities and current status
of the soft resonant elastic X-ray scattering beamline, CSX. Recent research
examples will be showcased, including charge ordering in high-temperature
superconducting cuprates, magnetic ordering in
artificially patterned samples and nickelates, and
holography on in situ controlled exotic magnetic phases in multilayers.
