AILES is dedicated to IR absorption spectroscopy from the mid- to far IR or THz domains. Research on AILES involves studies of the optical properties or low energy excitations of materials. |
ANTARES is dedicated to ARPES with nm lateral resolution Applications to heterostructures, flakes of 2D materials, micro-crystals or polycrystalline samples, different crystal termination, domains in electronic structure. |
CASSIOPEE is dedicated to XPS in the 8 eV - 1500 eV photon energy range. The beamline comprises two endstations for spin-resolved XPS and ARPES, both connected to a MBE chamber. |
DEIMOS is dedicated to magnetic and electronic properties of materials using polarized light. Applications in surface / interface magnetism, spin electronics, quantum magnetism. |
SEXTANTS is dedicated to the study of magnetic and electronic properties of solids by polarized soft X-ray elastic and inelastic scattering in the energy range from 50 - 1800 eV. |
