Cutting edge techniques currently in use or in development | |
Advanced spectroscopies are planned at the new APS-U beamline 25-ID. The new beamline will make use of the APS upgrade with brighter beams with less divergence to collect more x-rays with our 100mm and 300mm KB mirror systems for Advanced Spectroscopy and imaging.
In addition to X-ray absorption measurements of dilute systems, the spectroscopy group has commissioned two new spectrometers. One for high energy resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) with 3-crystal spectrometer (1), and a second large crystal array spectrometer for simultaneous multiple-edge x-ray emission spectroscopy (2).
We are also in the final design stage for a new X-ray Raman Scattering microscope which will allow measurements of low energy edges such as C/O/N with 10 KeV x-rays for in-situ and operando studies. In addition to the new spectrometers for advanced spectroscopies, the Spectroscopy group is pioneering the way with the development of Bluesky/Orphyd controls integrated with EPICS to pave the way for automation with user friendly interface.
