BL5-4

    Overview

    BL5-4 is a normal incidence monochromator beamline optimized for high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) in the photon energy range of 7 - 40 eV with polarization control (circular polarizations: 7 - 40 eV, linear polarizations: 16 - 40 eV). The dedicated experimental end station is equipped with a SCIENTA DFS30-8000 electron spectrometer. This system is capable of performing ARPES experiments with a total energy resolution of a few meV and an angular resolution of 0.3°. It is also equipped with a low-temperature sample manipulator with two degrees of freedom of rotation, which can be cooled down to 5 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.
