Preparation chamber (zipped file with PDF designes) has LEED&AUGER, Ar+ sputter gun (0.5-5 kV), Omicron evaporator for 3 sources, gas line for 2 gases. Sample manipulator of preparation chamber can be cooled down to -100 0C and heated up to 300 0C, if you need higher temperatures we have heater up to >2000 0C. Also we have UHV dimond scraper, cleavage posts and silver epoxy for UHV, Omicron sample holders from copper, tantalum and molibdenum. Additionally we can also make Louer measurements of your samples for orienting them on the sample holder.. If you need more or something else please contact us and we will check if we have it.
Scheduling accepted proposalsThe beamline coordinator takes care of contacting all of the users whose proposals have been accepted, following the rank indicated by the Review Panel. We try to arrange the beamtime calendar keeping into account the experiment requirements and your specific needs. Sending us your instrumentationDuring the scheduling of the various proposals, we carefully check with you whether we have all the necessary equipment for experiments. If something is missing, we make specific agreements so that you send us what is needed in time for the experiments. If you prefer to bring the instrumentation you need to install in the preparation chamber with you, note that we need at least 36 hours for the chamber to be ready to use and plan your arrival accordingly. |
Preparation of the experimentsIn the case of complex experiments, e.g. experiments that require lengthy preparation, agreements can be made for you to begin to work a few days earlier than the official beginning of the beamtime. This might be useful when in-situ sample preparation is needed, or for the calibration of evaporators, or if complex instrumentation needs to be installed. All of this is discussed with the beamline coordinator at the sutable time in advance. Important note concerning fundingFunding agencies normally refund expenses in the time interval one day prior and after the beamtime. Thus, in the case you arrive earlier, your expenses ARE NOT COVERED. We invite you to check this with the Elettra User Office. |
