SOFT X-RAY MICROCHARACTERIZATION BEAMLINE

Ambient Table

  Available

This multi use endstation is designed for bulk analysis of many different samples. The endstation can be configured for liquid and solid in-situ experiments as well.

Capabilities

  • XAFS spectroscopy under flowing inert gases, typically helium
  • X-ray Fluorescence Yield (XRF)
  • Transmission
  • Available for in-situ/operando experiments under high/low temperatures or using different gasses e.g. CO, H2S/SO2, and H2
  • In-situ electrochemistry

Configurations

The ambient table is a versatile endstation, capable of different configurations for specific experiments. Ambient table set-ups available at SXRMB include:

  • Ambient gas chamber for fluorescence yield and transmission studies of thin samples
  • Liquid cells with magnetic stirring and ambient gas chamber
  • A cold finger apparatus for low temperature studies
  • A tube furnace and six shooter sample holder for solid-gas in situ reactions

In-situ experiments

The in-situ experiment capabilities at the Ambient table are designed to study materials in real-time under realistic or operational conditions. Several in-situ experiments were performed at the SXRMB beamline using different setups and configurations.
