The single-shot CDI speckle pattern formed by the short femtosecond FERMI-FEL pulse is an excellent probe to monitor the evolution of the transient states of the sample. Resonant CDI at the atomic absorption edges in a single-shot mode adds elemental sensitivity, while combination with circular or linear polarization, extends the information to spin and orbital momentum. •(linear and circular) polarization
•plane static magnetic field (up to ±35 mT)
|
For both TR-ARPES and TR-OS different setups are offered with various pump and probe energies, repetition rate, time resolution, spot size, probe polarization. ·TR-OS temperature range: down to 4 K, or up to 470 K
·TR-ARPES endstation:
-6-axis cryo-manipulator
