FTIR Spectrometer

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….

Surface & Material Science branch

…Direct current heating (up to 1400 °C) Cooling Heat exchanger with compressed air cooling (to avoid overheating); can be used with LN2 if necessary (minimum T ~ 160 K) Deposition…

A celebration of MAX IV’s beginnings

Rather than keep the medal, Mikael decided to donate it to everyone at MAX IV to honour their contributions.“ It would not be fair to keep the medal as it is…

Vacuum

…collisions with residual air molecules are detrimental to the stability and lifetime of the electron beam, therefore the accelerators must operate under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions to reduce the probability…

Time resolved catalysis

…preparation is available. Samples must be prepared outside and transferred via air (or inert atmosphere using the glove box). The preparation chamber in the solid-gas endstation can be used for…

CoSAXS Experimental station

…the design from cSAXS, PSI, will enable the incident vacuum path to be brought as close to the sample environment as possible to reduce air scatter. For some sample environments,…
