Strongly correlated electron physics host complex phenomena. Often such complex phenomenon are found close to Anti-ferromagnetic phase by tuning one parameter with which the spin degrees of freedom couple to. Examples of such complex phenomena include pseudo-gap phase, spin density wave, charge density wave, superconductivity and many more. Furthermore, phase competition and phase coexistence is ubiquitous in these materials. Here we focus on such strongly coupled antiferromagnets and utilize coherent resonant scattering to study their real space structures. We will see that the real space evolution of meso scale structure encodes many crucial information about the physics of the complex system. Finally we end our discussion with proposing modification to existing coherent scattering experiments to study dynamic equilibrium states of metastable matter.
