BL5-2

    Overview

    BL5-2 is a plane grating monochromator beam line optimized for high-resolution, micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) in the photon energy range of18 - 200 eV with full polarization control. The dedicated experimental end station is equipped with a SCIENTA DFS30 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 degrees of freedom of rotation, which can be cooled down to ~7 K.

    Because BL5-2 and BL5-4 cannot operate simultaneously, they are often shown combined as BL5-2/BL5-4. BL5-2 is the default station for majority of the users on BL5. Please communicate with the responsible beam line scientists in advance if BL5-4 is the desired experimental station.
