Ambient pressure X-ray Photoneltron spectrascopy

May 26, 2025

A new ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APPES) instrument has been installed at beamline 02B of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation (SSRF). BL02B is a bending magnet beamline and has the photon energy ranging from 40 to 2000 eV, which has two branches. The APXPS system was equiped with an analyser of Scienta Omicron HIPP-3, which could be used in spatial mode. The new APPES instrument can measure samples at near ambient pressure up to 20 mbar. The new system owns the ability of spatia resolution up to 7.5 µm on spatial mode. Also, the APXPS system is collected with a multifunctional preparation chamber, which could be used for sample growth (evaporator), sample cleaning (Argon sputtering gun) and sample charaterization (LEED system).
