Possible strategies to control the beam-heating effect. (a) Relaxation rates from sample B are shown in three different configurations as indicated, the respective dashed lines are the average relaxation rate obtained from the time-resolved model. (b) Expected average temperature jump in a diluted colloidal sample of silica nanoparticles as a function of the particle radius for different repetition rates at a fluence of 10.5 mJ mm⁻² and 50 pulses. (c) Rescaled relaxation rates after 15 pulses as a function of the fluence for the SPB/SFX and MID data. Once the differences due to the different particle size are removed, the diffusion constant follows the same linear behaviour for both systems, confirming the fact that the only changing quantity is the temperature in the scattering volume. (d) Γ(q*) for different waiting times at three different repetition rates measured at MID.
