…uses a 4-axis closed-cycle cryomanipulator, with an expected sample temperature range of 15K –> 400K. A 6-axis cryomanipulator will be procured during 2024. Sample preparation by cleaving, sputtering, heating or…

The dawning of new interpretation for RIXS spectra

There is consensus among physicists that strict parity selectivity is required in dipole approximation with soft X-rays in the field of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). Meaning, when photons hit…

Fast Access

Starting in the Fall 2024 run, Bloch is trialing participation in the MAX-IV Fast Access program, offering Sample Feasibility proposals. Please note the following: These beamtimes are intended to demonstrate…

Full-field microtomography

Full-field imaging at a fourth-generation synchrotron source is governed by a relatively small but very bright x-ray beam, as detailed in the publication linked below. Our approach is to provide…
