The Galaxies Beamline at SOLEIL Synchrotron: Inelastic X-ray Scattering and Photoelectron Spectroscopy in the Hard X-ray Range (1806.04058v1)
Published 7 Jun 2018 in physics.ins-det, cond-mat.mtrl-sci, and cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: The GALAXIES beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron is dedicated to inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) and photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in the 2.3-12 keV hard x-ray range. These two techniques offer powerful, complementary methods of characterization of materials with bulk sensitivity, chemical and orbital selectivity, resonant enhancement and high resolving power. After a description of the beamline components and endstations, we address the beamline performances through a selection of recent works both in the solid and gas phases and using either IXS or HAXPES approaches. Prospects for studies on liquids are discussed.
