RSXS Scattering Chamber

RSXS Endstation

• (Resonant) Soft X-ray Scattering (RSXS) / X-Ray reflectometry

10-motion UHV diffractometer (4-circle diffractometer + x,y,z and detector motions)

Detectors: Channeltron, Photodiode, with multiple slits and filters, 2D Micro-Channelplate (MCP), Polarization Analyzer, Multi-channel Scaler, Electrometer.

Sample environment: P ~ 5x10^-10 Torr, closed-cycle cryostat for variable sample temperature environment (18 K – 400 K), permanent magnet sample holder, load-lock with crystal-cleaver/scraper

• X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)

by total electron yield (TEY), total fluorescence yield (TFY)

• Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD)

full polarization control of the incoming beam.

• Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) will be available soon.
• The diffractometer is controlled by spec software from Certified Scientific Software.
