Beamline description

Experimental & Preparation Chambers

The measurement station consists of three UHV chambers: the experiment chamber, hosting a Scanning photoelectron microscope (SPEM), a fast entry lock connected to the small preparation chamber, where 5 sample holders can be kept in vacuum contemporarily and simple preparation procedures can be performed and a main preparation chamber with facilities for specimen preparation / characterization. The specimen mounted on a sample holder is transported using magnetic arms and wobble sticks. the preparation chamber includes LEED, AES, PEEM, a sputter gun, plasma source, a gas inlet system, an evaporation source, a mass spectrometer, an arm for sample transport, and facilities for indirect and direct sample heating. Additionally, a high pressure chamber can be attached to the cross of 3 above mentioned chambers.
