The original design of the beamline is described in detail in the following article: R. Denecke, P. Väterlein, M. Bässler, N. Waasdahl, S. Butorin, A. Nilsson, J.-E. Rubensson, J. Nordgren, N. Mårtensson, and R. Nyholm, Beamline I311 at MAX II, capabilities and performance, J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat. Phenomena 101-103, 971 (1999). • go to article | ||||||||||||
MonochromatorThe plane grating Zeiss SX-700 monochromator has 2 gratings - 1200 and 250 lines / mm. The 1200 lines / mm is the default. The monochromator can be operated at three C values, with a corresponding exit slit position (see table). Increasing the C value gives better resolution with worse 2nd order suppression, whilst lowering the C value does the opposite. C = 2.25 is the most commonly used and gives the 'best' compromise of flux, resolution and 2nd order rejection.
Resolution determined at 400.5 eV (N2) by absorption with a gas cell. The exit slit width was 5 microns. | ||||||||||||
Exit slit and resolutionThe following plots show the resolution for different photon energies as a function of slit width for grating 1. |
