Bruker Vertex v70 FTIR spectrometer coupled to main UHV/APXPS setup (catalysis cell) for Inferred Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS). Fully in-vacuum beampath prevents IR light from absorption by O2/H2O in air. Both IR and X-ray spots are overlapping inside AP cell, thus enabling simultaneous AP-XPS and IRRAS measurements.
The IR light can be polarised in the”p” and “s” planes (parallel and in-plane with the surface) allowing for Polarization Modulation (PM) IRRAS.
