ID01 is an X-ray diffraction and scattering beamline devoted to the study of a wide variety of materials, from nanostructures to bulk, with the ability to perform imaging of strain and structure using full field diffraction imaging, coherent X-ray diffraction methods and/or nanodiffraction. Typical samples range from microelectronic devices to novel metal-organic solar cells or battery electrodes |
Beamline ID12 is a unique instrument worldwide that offers users full control of the polarization state of the X-ray beam over a wide energy range (2-15 keV) and is devoted to research at the ultimate limits of X-ray spectroscopy |
Beamline ID27 is a premier X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction station (nanofocus) primarily dedicated to research at extreme pressures and temperatures |
ID28 is dedicated to the study of phonon dispersion in condensed matter at momentum transfers, Q, and energy transfers, E, characteristic of collective atom motions. Main activities comprise the study of disordered systems and samples only available in very small quantities (<<1 mm3) and/or submitted to very high pressures (100 GPa and beyond) |
XMCD branch with plane grating monochromator and variable spot size at the sample. RIXS branch with very high resolving power (aim combined RP=30000) and 10 m spectrometer with constant variable scattering angle over 100 degrees. Open experimental area with the possibility of installing user chambers or using beamline instruments for example for soft x-ray diffraction or coherence experiments |
