Design and Properties of the IR-Beamline at Bessy II

This year a large acceptance angle (40x60 mrad) infrared beamline will be put into operation at BESSY II. This highly brilliant infrared source will be used for spectroscopic investigations of biological systems, for microscopy of same and for investigations on the structural and functional interactions of proteins. Vibrational, structural and electronic properties of surfaces and thin layers w...

The new HMI beamline MAGS: an instrument for hard X-ray diffraction at BESSY.

The Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin is operating the new hard X-ray diffraction beamline MAGS at the Berlin synchrotron radiation source BESSY. The beamline is intended to complement the existing neutron instrumentation at the Berlin Neutron Scattering Centre. The new beamline uses a 7 T multipole wiggler to produce photon fluxes in the 10(11)-10(12) photons s(-1) (100 mA)(-1) (0.1% bandwidth)(-1...

Layout of a Femtosecond X-ray Source at Bessy Ii

The generation of femtosecond x-ray pulses with circular polarization is planned at BESSY II. The paper describes the underlying principle (”femtoslicing”), its technical implementation, and the expected output, based on simulations and measurements.

X-ray spectromicroscopy with the scanning transmission X-ray microscope at BESSY II.

Using the scanning transmission X-ray microscope at BESSY II, colloidal structures from a Chernozem soil have been studied with a spatial resolution around 60 nm and a spectral resolution of 1,700 at the K-absorption edge of carbon. Elemental mapping has been used to determine the distribution of organic matter within the colloidal structures. Spectra have been extracted from image stacks to ob...
