Abstract

LiXEdrom is an experimental station dedicated to high resolution RIXS measurements on liquid samples. It is equipped with two VLS gratings and advanced photon detector (MCP/phosphorous screen/CCD), covering soft X-ray range of 200 – 1200 eV. The efficient differential pumping and cooling systems ensure successful executions of X-ray spectroscopy on liquid samples in vacuum. Liquid samples are introduced into the vacuum chamber by micro-jet or flow-cell techniques.

Highlights

  • LiXEdrom experimental station is equipped with high energy resolution X-ray spectrometer and dedicated to investigation of functional materials in solution and at surfaces and interfaces, with X-ray absorption (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) techniques

  • The resolving power E/∆E is around 4000 for the high energy grating at 800 eV, while 5000 for the low energy grating at C K-edge, when a 10 μm X-ray spot size on sample is achieved

  • The vacuum of graing/detector chamber and beamline (

Summary

Introduction

LiXEdrom experimental station is equipped with high energy resolution X-ray spectrometer and dedicated to investigation of functional materials in solution and at surfaces and interfaces, with X-ray absorption (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) techniques. The X-ray spectrometer includes two variable-line-spacing (VLS) spherical gratings and an advanced X-ray photon detector (microchannel plate (MCP)/phosphorous screen/CCD camera assembly). The two gratings, one with 1200 l/mm line density covering energy range of 200 – 500 eV and the other with 2400 l/mm covering 400 – 1200 eV, are mounted on a motorized stage with 10 nm positioning. The sample chamber is usually kept at [10−4] – 10−5 mbar with running liquid-jet inside, or ∼ 10−7 mbar with liquid ow-cell. The liquid-jet and ow-cell are the two applied techniques for the introduction of liquid samples into vacuum chamber
