Notes:
An end station for soft x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy has been constructed, which includes an experiment chamber, rotatable 90° under ultrahigh vacuum conditions around the incoming synchrotron radiation beam, which is provided with a high-resolution soft x-ray spectrometer. A manipulator allowing three axes of rotation, three directions of translation, as well as LN2 cooling and resistive heating is mounted to the chamber and serves as the sample holder. Samples can be transferred under vacuum between the experiment chamber and two other chambers, one for sample preparation and another for introducing new samples and for sample storage. The end station has been used at two different synchrotron radiation laboratories (beamline BW3) at HASYLAB in Hamburg and at ALS (beamline 7.0) in Berkeley. Polarization-dependent and angular resolved, selectively excited x-ray emission studies have been made on ordered as well as nonordered systems, e.g., high-Tc superconducting systems, diamond, fullerenes, and molecular ices. The experimental system will be presented along with some recent scientific results. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
