Recent advances in soft x-ray scattering instrumentation at the National Synchrotron Light Source
- National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, 11973 (United States)
For the study of condensed-matter systems x-ray scattering experiments are often the best choice as they have several desirable features including complete conservation of momentum in the incident and detected particles, well characterized initial and final electronic states, and insensitivity of photon transport to external electric and magnetic fields (as compared to photoelectrons, for example). To extend these techniques to soft x-ray region ({h bar}{nu}{lt}1 keV) the lack of suitable detectors, and the difficulties associated with performing scattering experiments in vacuum must be overcome. In this article we provide details of our instrumental development program, and show some representative examples of experiments we have performed to date.
