Experimental Station 10-2a

Beam line 10-2 is a wiggler end-station that splits time between the front hutch (BL10-2a), which has a dedicated 2-circle diffractometer that is used for materials scattering and the back hutch (BL10-2b), which is instrumented for x-ray absorption spectroscopy for chemistry/catalysis. The beamline supports the use of multiple area detectors, as well as point detectors with a crystal analyzer for higher angular resolution.

Custom: (Please contact staff)

  • A stack of motorized Parker linear stages to support larger experimental chambers. (e.g electrochemical chambers, blade and spin coaters, annealing chambers)
  • Variable filters to alleviate beam damage.
  • Adjustable slits for defining spot size on sample.
  • Soller slits.
  • Beam stop to remve elastic scattering from area detector.
  • Motorized syringes to inject fluids
  • Sample cameras and overhead cameras to monitor experiment.
