Our offer for the industrial users is based on the research techniques available at five beamlines: URANOS, PIRX, PHELIX, ASTRA and DEMETER and at the cryoEM facility.
Available techniques are divided into three main categories: spectroscopic, diffraction and microscopic.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy: XAS
A method for studying chemical composition, local atomic structure and oxidation state of materials, using X-ray radiation.
Experimental stations: ASTRA, DEMETER, PHELIX, PIRX
X-ray magnetic circular/linear dichroism: XMCD/XMLD
A method for studying magnetic properties of matter, with chemical sensitivity, based on the difference in the absorption coefficient of differently polarized X-ray radiation.
Experimental station: DEMETER, PHELIX, PIRX
Photoelectron spectroscopy: PS
A method for studying the electronic structure and chemical state of materials (oxidation state, chemical bond type), using UV or X-ray radiation.
Experimental stations: URANOS, PHELIX
Laboratory method: Auger electron spectroscopy: AES
A method for studying the composition of materials, based on measuring the binding energy of electrons, emitted by the excited atoms in the Auger process.
Experimental stations: DEMETER, URANOS, PHELIX, PEEM, PIRX
Laboratory method: Low energy electron diffraction: LEED
A method for studying crystallographic ordering of the surfaces of different materials, identification of surface reconstructions and superstructures and estimating the crystalline domain size.
Experimental stations: DEMETER, PIRX, URANOS, PHELIX
Photoelectron emission microscopy: PEEM
A surface imaging method, based on the analysis of the photoelectrons emitted by the sample, with chemical and magnetic resolution.
Experimental stations: DEMETER
Cryo - electron microscopy: CryoEM
An imaging method used primarily for solving the structure of proteins and other biomolecules without crystallization, based on their interaction with the focused electron beam.
Experimental stations: CryoEM
Scanning transmission x-ray microscopy: STXM
A chemically-sensitive imaging method, using X-ray radiation scanned across samples, capable of the in-situ studying of chemical reactions.
Experimental stations: DEMETR
