Beamline D1011 - Short information

Beamline D1011 is a bending magnet beamline covering the energy range 30 to 1500 eV. An adjustable local bump of the electron beam provides out of plane radiation. This makes magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) possible in addition to photoemission and photoabsorption using linearly polarized light. The monochromator is a modified SX-700 PGM of the same design as the monochromator on beamline I411.

Source

Bending magnet, 4.7 mrad

Pre-focusing optics

Horizontally focusing spherical mirror.

Monochromator

Modified SX-700 monochromator (360 l/mm and 1220 l/mm gratings) with plane-elliptical focusing mirror.

Energy range

40 - 1500 eV.

Energy resolution

E/dE = 1.5x103 - 1.3x104.

Photon flux on sample

~ 1010 - 1011 ph/s.

Spot size on sample

1(v) x 3(h) mm2 (front chamber); 1(v) x 1(h) mm2 (back chamber)

Experimental station

Two experimental stations are available. The front station is mounted directly after the exit slit of the monochromator while the back station is mounted further down-stream and receives radiation passing through the first end station via a re-focusing mirror system.

The first experimental system consists of separate analyzer and preparation chambers accessible via a long-travel manipulator. The analyzer chamber is equipped with a SCIENTA SES200 electron energy analyzer and an MCP detector for electron yield measurements. The preparation chamber is equipped with LEED, ion sputtering guns, gas-inlet system and a number of optional ports for user owned sample preparation accessories.

The second experimental station is a single chamber system specifically designed for MCD measurements.
