GALAXI: Gallium anode low-angle x-ray instrument
Full text linkThe high brilliance laboratory small angle X-ray scattering instrument GALAXI, which is operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, permits the investigation of chemical correlations in bulk materials or of structures deposited on a surface at nanometre and mesoscopic length scales. The instrument is capable to perform GISAXS experiments in reflection at grazing incidence as well as SAXS experiments in transmission geometry. The X-ray flux on sample is comparable or higher than the one obtained at a comparable beamline at a second generation synchrotron radiation source.
The mySpot beamline at BESSY II
Full text linkmySpot beamline is used to provide stable beam especially tuned for the mySpot experiment. Depending on the experiment requirements, different optical devices are used. The schematic view shows two different configurations, one tuned for low divergence, and one for narrow energy band width, as required for the scattering and spectroscopy experiments respectively. Since the goal of the experiment is to provide several methods at the same time, beamline properties can be tuned to provide the optimal beam for a given combination of experiments. Total intensity, divergence, energy resolution, high harmonics suppression, and stability in scans can be tuned to match the requirements (Erko & Zizak, 2009)
AIM Data Services
Full text linkAIM Data Services as a virtual facility provides virtual 3D reference tracks for simulation applications in the domain of automotive and railway systems. It offers tools for management and analysis of experiment data and a platform for survey and processing of vehicle data in the public transport domain. Collected spatial data is bundled in a database cluster and published through common web mapping interfaces
GIPP: Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam
Full text linkThe Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP) consists of field instruments, sensors and equipment for temporary seismological studies (both controlled source and earthquake seismology) as well as for magnetotelluric (electromagnetic) experiments. These instruments are mainly mobile digital recorders, broadband seismometers and short period sensors, and they are used to reveal the subsurface structure and to investigate earthquakes. Sensors for magnetotellurics include induction coil and fluxgate magnetometers and non-polarizing silver / silver-chloride electrodes. It is operated by the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. The instrument facility is open to all academic applicants, both national and international. Instrument applications are evaluated and ranked by an external steering board. Currently, for seismological applications >850 geophysical recorders, >170 broadband seismometers and >1300 short period geophones are available (among others). Available for magnetotelluric experiments are > 50 real-time data-loggers, >150 induction coils, and >500 electrodes. User guidelines and data policy are in force and data archives are provided (standard exchange formats)
ELBE Center for High-Power Radiation Sources
Full text linkIn the ELBE Center for High-Power Radiation Sources, the superconducting linear electron accelerator ELBE, serving two free electron lasers, sources for intense coherent THz radiation, mono-energetic positrons, electrons, γ-rays, a neutron time-of-flight system as well as two synchronized ultra-short pulsed Petawatt laser systems are collocated. The characteristics of these beams make the ELBE center a unique research instrument for a variety of external users in fields ranging from material science over nuclear physics to cancer research, as well as scientists of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR)
The plane grating monochromator beamline U49-2 PGM-1 at BESSY II
Full text linkU49/2 PGM1 is one of HZB open-port VUV beamlines. Therefore and due to the fact that it delivers highest flux with very acceptable energy resolution it is the most heavily booked BESSY II beamline. Earlier work has largely focused on surface science and catalysis. After shut down of the former U41 PGM an increasing number of experiments on liquids and solutions are carried out
The UE49 SGM RICXS beamline at BESSY II
Full text linkBeamline UE49-SGM is a dedicated high-flux soft x-ray beamline, spanning the energy range of 95 eV to 1400 eV. Its micrometer focus makes it ideally suitable for investigation of small or inhomogeneous samples both with spectroscopic methods and coherent scattering as well as imaging techniques with full polarization control
The variable polarization undulator beamline UE52 SGM at BESSY II
Full text linkUE52 SGM is an open port beamline with a monochromator containing 3 spherical gratings covering the energy range of 100 to 1500 eV and allows for variable polarization (circular and in any orientation linear) with a focus of about 20 - 60 μm (horizontal) x beamline slit (vertical) spot in focus
CISSY: A station for preparation and surface/interface analysis of thin film materials and devices
Full text linkThe CISSY end station combines thin film deposition (sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy ambient-pressure methods) with surface and bulk-sensitive analysis (photo emission, x-ray emission, x-ray absorption) in the same UHV system, allowing fast and contamination–free transfer between deposition and analysis. It is mainly used for the fabrication and characterization of thin film devices and their components like thin film photovoltaic cells, water-splitting devices and other functional thin film materials
EVo: Net Shape RTM Production Line
Full text linkEVo research platform is operated by the Center for Lightweight-Production-Technology of the German Aerospace Center in Stade. Its objective is technology demonstration of a fully automated RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) production line for composite parts in large quantities. Process steps include cutting and ply handling, draping, stacking, hot-forming, preform-trimming to net shape, resin injection, curing and demolding
