Hard x-ray scanning microscope inhouse development

Basic Information

Name: Hard x-ray scanning microscope
Manufacturer: inhouse development
Facility: Chair of Physics of Quantum Materials
Partner: Technische Universität Dresden (TUD)
Location: beamline P06 of PETRA III at DESY in Hamburg

Description

The hard x-ray scanning is located at beamline P06 of the synchrotron radiation source PETRA III at DESY in Hamburg. It can generate sub-100 nm x-ray beams in the energy range between 6 and 30 keV. Various scanning modes are possible, including tomographic scans. The following x-ray analytical techniques can be used as contrast mechanism:

  • x-ray fluorescence: determine element distribution
  • x-ray absorption: determine chemical state of given element as a function of position
  • small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS): determine local mesoscopic structure
  • wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS): determine local atomic structure, in particular of poly and nano-crystalline materials
  • coherent x-ray diffraction imaging

Starting 2012, the instrument will be available through the HASYLAB user system (cf. http://hasylab.desy.de). User support will be given.

A detailed description can be found in C. Schroer, et al., Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A, 616(2-3), 93 (2010).
