The core EXAFS beamline, B18, is characterised by a wide energy range, a focused beam and a continuous scanning monochromator. These characteristics allow for efficient collection of XAS data on all elements heavier than phosphorus.
The recent implementation of a fluorescence mapping tool has enabled new experiments to be performed on the beamline.
Benefits:
Best for:
The microfocus spectroscopy beamline, I18, uses 2 x 2 µm2 beam to examine heterogeneous materials on the micrometre scale using a variety of techniques, such as XRF, XANES and XRD.
Benefits:
Best for:
The scanning branch of I20 exploits the high flux provided by the wiggler delivers to two different set-ups/techniques:
1) XAS uses 64 element monolithic germanium detector with a very fast read-out system to examine the struture of very low concentration samples.
2) X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) is dedicated to perform high-energy resolution studies of the electronic structure.
Benefits:
I20 supports a wide range of applications especially in biology, environmental science, chemistry and materials science.
Best for:
The Energy Dispersive EXAFS (EDE) branch of I20 uses a polychromator to perform XAS experiments in a dispersive geometry. It is designed for in situ and operando studies with time resolutions ranging from seconds down to milliseconds, or even microseconds.
Benefits:
Best for:
The Scanning X-ray Microscopy (SXM) beamline (I08) is dedicated to morphological, elemental and chemical speciation on a broad range of organic-inorganic specimens in a 250-4400 eV photon energy range, and sample investigations under ambient or cryogenic conditions.
Benefits:
Best for:
The Nanoscience beamline exploits the brightest region in Diamond’s spectrum, providing a high-photon flux density for soft X-ray experiments. It combines microfocused soft X-rays with variable linear and circular polarisation and X-ray photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) to provide spectroscopic data on nanometre length scales. The intense polarised beam can be focused to a spot several microns in diameter, allowing the study of nanomagnetism and nanostructures.
Benefits:
Best for:
B07 is a Versatile Soft X-ray (VERSOX) beamline with near ambient pressure XPS/NEXAFS capabilities. The beamline covers a wide range of non-vacuum sample environments. We are currently in the process of installing a second branch of the beamline, to enable high-throughput XPS measurements on multiple samples and in situ NEXAFS studies at up to 1 bar pressure.
Benefits:
Best for studies of:
I14, the Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline, offers a small beam of 50 nm for high-resolution imaging with a wide energy range (5-23 keV). The beamline has developed and expanded its capabilities in X-ray fluorescence, diffraction and XANES mapping. Raster scanning capability combined with simple data acquisition software is suitable for fast acquisition and increased sample area coverage.
