A time-of-flight–Mott apparatus for soft x-ray spin resolved photoemission on solid samples
We describe a new spectrometer for spin resolved photoemission from solids in the soft x-ray energy range. It is mounted on the ID08 beamline at the ESRF light source and consists of a time-of-flight ...

The evaporating electron gun in UHV systems has a side-effect that it gives rise to large quantities of scattered and secondary electrons. These electrons may cause damage to sensitive samples and may...

We present a clamp-type pressure cell for high energy x-ray diffraction. The pressure cell was specifically designed for studies of weak superstructure reflections at low temperatures in transition metal oxides, resulting from, e.g., charge density modulations. Using a photon energy of E=100  keV, the bulk properties of single crystals with a volume of typically 2–5  mm3 can be studied in transmission geometry. To demonstrate the performance of the pressure cell, we present data on the charge stripe order in the high-temperature superconductor La1.875Ba0.125CuO4. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
