The Structures and Surfaces Group consists of four beamlines: I05 (Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy – ARPES), I07 (Surface and Interface X-ray Diffraction), B07 (Versatile Soft X-ray Scattering – VERSOX), and I09 (Atomic and Electronic Structure of Surfaces and Interfaces). There has been a great deal of activity this year; continuing to develop the beamlines, working closely with the user groups, and looking to the future opportunities enabled by the Diamond-II upgrade. The group held a successful workshop in September 2018, with a focus on Diamond-II and the new science that could be enabled including potential new techniques or beamlines. Outcomes from the workshop were incorporated into the science case for the upgrade, highlighting in particular the important role that surfaces and interfaces play in broader research areas such as battery technology, photovoltaic structures, and catalytic/electrochemical systems under operando conditions. Expanding the techniques to these communities is a key objective for the group. Read more
