MATRIX research group for materials research utilizing NSLS. Progress report. [Midwest Analytical Team for Research Instrumentation of X-ray]
MATRIX is a group of scientists from nine institutions who have common interests in utilizing x-ray synchrotron radiation for unique materials research. This group has available to it a specialized beam line for a wide range of x-ray scattering studies at the National Light Synchrotron Source (NSLS). In the development of this beam line the MATRIX group has been a leader in all phases of beam line development. During the past year, MATRIX completed the first operational x-ray scattering beam line at NSLS. In addition, the first x-ray scattering experiment at NSLS was conducted on this beam line. In the past year, eight publications have resulted from the MATRIX supported efforts. Among these publications are four studies related to the beam line development and characteristics. The other publications are research projects of preliminary studies for work at NSLS and include projects on catalysts and phase transformations. Full operational schedules covering the remainder of the calendar year for the beam line were initiated in June 1985. In addition to the first completed project on Diffraction Studies of Langmuir-Blodgett Films, a number of projects on phase transformations, surface studies, catalysts, and electronic materials are in progress. Associated with the research projects in progress, part of the efforts of the MATRIX group has involved final testing of two unique systems for the beam line. An X-ray Diffraction Surface Chamber that will allow diffraction studies as well as surface characterization (LEED, Auger spectroscopy, and sputtering) is undergoing final completion and testing. Also, a Time Resolved Detection System which allows 30 nsec resolution is in final operational testing on a rotating anode. Both systems are scheduled for installation on the beam line in late 1985. 3 figs., 1 tab.
