Description
SINS facility uses a bending magnetic beamline to deliver photon with an energy range from 50-1200 eV for end-station to cover the K-edges of light elements (C, N, and O) and L-edges of transition metals, and M-edges of part of rare earth metals, with user selectable linear and circular polarization for soft x-ray photon. There are two measurement chambers (main chamber and XMCD chamber) in the end-station, which are designed for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray linear dichroism (XMLD) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments. These experiments are helpful in probing elemental compositions, electronic and magnetic states of materials, work functions and molecular orientation in the self-assembled monolayers (SAM). With these detailed information, it provides the opportunities to uncover the exotics properties regarding many fundamental questions in solid-state physics.
