Experimental Station 5-2

The BL5-2 station is a plane grating monochromator beam line optimized for high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) in the photon energy range of 25 - 200 eV with full polarization control. The dedicated experimental end station is equipped with a SCIENTA DA30L electron spectrometer. This system is capable of performing ARPES experiments with a total energy resolution of a few meV and an angular resolution of ~0.1°. It is also equipped with a low-temperature sample manipulator with three degree of freedom of rotation, which can be cooled down to <10 K.  Because BL5-2 and BL5-4 cannot operate simultaneously, they are often shown combined as BL5-4/BL5-2. Users may choose either experimental station for their beamtime. Please confirm with the responsible beam line scientists on the readiness of desired experimental station in advance.
