  • High-sensitive, Space-Resolved and Time-Resolved Electron Spin Dynamics

    Experimental Technique

    Combining the low divergence of the 4th light source, twin EPUs, chopper modulation and lock-in amplification, high-sensitivity XMCD measurements are achieved. Using ultra-small beam spot down to 3 micrometers with KB mirrors and ferromagnetic resonance technology, XFMR measurements with a phase time resolution of 5 ps are realized. Utilizing a dual-layer cooling system (liquid nitrogen coil shield + thermo-insulation shield + liquid helium), PEEM measurements are performed in a liquid helium temperature (20 K) with a spatial resolution of ~20 nm.


    Beamline optics

    Superconducting Magnet Endstation

    Overview

    The beamline is sourced by twin elliptically polarizing undulators (EPU43.5). The twin EPUs can operates in parallel and collinear modes. A plane mirror M1 deflects the beam by 2° to reduce the heat load and cut off the high energy X-rays. The monochromator is a variable-line-spacing plane grating monochromator type, consisting a plane mirror and two different gratings. Monochromatized X-ray beam is switchable into two branches by the ellipsoidal cylindrical mirror M3. The parallel beams is reflected to the exist slit by M3. Then they are reflected by M6 and further focused by KB mirror set (M7&8) to the Superconducting Magnet (SCM) Endstation and Cryo-PEEM Endstation. A chopper is place behind the exist slit to make the parallel beams alternately illuminating the SCM Endstation. The beam sizes at the SCM Endstation and PEEM Endstation are 200×40 m and 26×53 m. When M3 removed from optical path, the collinear beams are reflected and focused by KB mirror set (M4&5) to the Vector Magnet (VM) Endstation. The beam sizes at the VM Endstation is  3×3 m.

  • High Throughput In-situ/Operando Tender X-ray Spectroscopy

    Experimental Technique


    High flux tender in-situ/operando X-ray spectroscopy beamline specializes in (ambient pressure) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/APXPS) and X-ray absorption/Emission spectroscopy (XAS/XES). Specifically designed with a tender X-ray energy range and a milli- to the micro-scale beam spot, this beamline focuses on in-situ/operando characterization of dynamic interfaces under real working conditions in batteries, catalysis, chips, and other devices.


    Experimental Technique



    Beamline optics

    The beamline is sourced by a planar hybrid in-vacuum undulator (IVU20.7) with an incident photon energy range of 770-10000 eV. A cylindrical mirror (M1) collects and focuses the divergent beam from the undulator. Considering the broad energy range, two types of monochromators are employed: a plane grating monochromator (PGM) and a double-crystal monochromator (DCM). The PGM consists of a plane mirror (M2) and a variable line spacing (VLS) grating, while the DCM is equipped with Si(111) and Si(220) crystals. The monochromatized X-ray beam is then focused onto the exit slit by a toroidal mirror (M3). The X-ray beam is subsequently refocused to a sub-micrometer spot size by a set of Kirkpatrick–Baez (KB) mirrors to meet the small-spot requirements of the HOPE endstation. Alternatively, the beam can be shaped into a millimeter-scale spot for the HOPE endstation using toroidal mirrors (M3/M4) in combination with a cylindrical mirror (HFM). In addition, the X-rays are also focused by M3 and M4 onto the TEA and IDEA experimental stations, respectively.


    Experimental Endstation

    The BL08 beamline has three experimental endstations—HOPE, TEA, and IDEA—capable of performing X-ray spectroscopies including HAXPES, APXPS, XAS, and XES. On this basis, a variety of in situ/operando characterizations can also be carried out, meeting the research needs across multiple fields.





    Science


    A mm-scale large beam spot combined with XPS enables rapid quality screening of non-uniform samples, meeting the characterization needs of the semiconductor field. In addition, for research systems such as quantum materials, it allows probing of electronic hybridization behaviors across surface-subsurface-bulk regions.

    Non-metallic elements like P, S, Cl, and K: Life substance, macromolecule, geochemical cycle

    Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca: Optoelectronic devices, minerals, and ceramic metallurgy

    Transition metals like Ti, Cu, Ni, Ru, Rh, and Pd: Catalytic materials, energy storage materials. 

    Rare earth elements, La series and Ac series: Magnetic materials, high entropy materials

    Radioactive elements like U, Th, and Ra: Important materials in military and national defense.


    Tender APXPS enables the probing of solid–gas, solid–liquid, and solid–liquid–gas three phase interfaces. For solid–gas systems, the TEA endstation allows in situ measurements under high-pressure conditions up to 100 mbar and even 1 bar. For complex solid–liquid interfaces in electrochemical systems, the TEA supports in situ/operando studies of solid–liquid and solid–liquid–gas interfaces under applied electric fields, effectively filling a critical gap in the field of electrochemical research.

    Beamline optics

    Key Performance

    Overview

    After the beam is exit from the sawtooth wall, a white light slit is set to limit the divergence angle of the beam incident on the monochromator. It is then collimated by a front-end mirror, with a source divergence angle of 30-40 μrad. A liquid-nitrogen-cooled double-crystal monochromator is placed 43 m away from the source point, where the full width at half maximum (FWHM) beam size at the monochromator position is approximately 1.5 mm. The double-crystal monochromator uses Si(111) crystals to meet the requirements for the energy range and energy resolution. To cover the K-absorption edge of phosphorus, the energy range is selected from 2.1 to 10.0 keV. An offset of 20 mm is chosen. Finally, two vertically and horizontally arranged cylindrical mirrors focus the beam at the exit slit2 to generate a secondary source point. The focused beam exhibits nearly equal divergence in the horizontal and vertical directions, forming a defined illumination spot at the entrance of the optical components in the experimental endstation.

    The TEST beamline is dedicated to the in-house research for soft X-ray optics and SR instrumentation. It can also support detector calibration and early-stage tests for advanced experimental techniques. Currently, one of the beamline endstations supports a new experimental technique using ptychography for quantum materials research.


    Beamline optics

    Overview

    The beamline is sourced by a linear polarization undulator (LPU38). It has two branches, namely, the mono beam branch and the white/pink beam branch. The mono beam branch uses the cPGM layout, has two gratings with energy resolving power of 100k @400 eV and 5k @ 867 eV. Endstation 3 at the end of the mono branch holds the Mach-Zehnder interferometer used to measure the ultra high-energy resolving power from the monochromator. It also supports the ptychographic characterization of quantum materials. The white/pink beam branch holds two endstations. One is for thermal management research on SR instrumentation, the other is for soft X-ray optics research. The beam directly from the source incident on the endstation for thermal management research. It then goes through a heat load chopper and two harmonic rejection mirrors before it reaches the endstation for X-ray optics research. The beam (ranging from 250 eV to 1000 eV) with the intrinsic bandwidth is used for this endstation.

Visible light interferometer is placed outside the chamber to detector the change of the surface topography, infrared camera is used to monitor the temperature on the optical surface. An in-house developed thermal power meter is also installed to measure the direct and reflected thermal power from the source.  

    Key Equipment

The endstation for thermal management research is built to investigate the cooling schemes for the optical elements. It can help to tackle the ever-increasing thermal problem when the storage ring goes to diffraction-limited. The endstation for X-ray optics research provides an experimental chamber to test the in-house developed instrument, such as the bending mirror. By combining the various wavefront sensing techniques, we can obtain the online and at-wavelength feedback for the test of the instrumentation.
