Description
FinEstBeAMS at the MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring is material- and atmospheric science beamline. It has two branchlines. One branch line is equipped with an end station for gas-phase targets and samples with high vapor pressure not suitable for ultra-high vacuum conditions (gas-phase endstation) and endstation for photoluminescence measurements (photoluminescence endstation – FinEstLUMI). Other branch line will be equipped with an end-station for ultra-high vacuum surface science studies (solid state endstation).
Equipment and resources
Main equipment includes:
Beamline
X-ray source
Elliptically polarizing undulator (EPU), 95.2 mm period, 26 periods, 14 mm minimal gap, 2.475 m magnetic length
Energy (wavelength) range
4.3 - 1300 eV (281 - 0.95 nm)
Primary monochromator
Collimating plane grating monochromator (cPGM) with 2 plain gratings (92 and 600 mm/l) and internally cooled plane mirror
Energy bandwidth
Up to 1 x 10-4 ΔE/E (2.4 meV at 10 eV, 11.4 meV at 150 eV and 20-30 meV at 290 eV)
Beam size at sample
100 x 100 μm2 (horizontal x vertical), 20 x 30 μm2 when limiting exit slit and baffles, beam size can be increased by moving gas-phase endstation out of focus
Flux at the sample (focused)
8x1013 - 1011 ph/s (4.3 – 800 eV), 1011 ph/s (1000 eV in when EPU used as wiggler)
Endstations
Gas phase endstation

• 2 ADC digitizer cards (PCIe bus), each with 4 ADC channels (1.25 GSamples/s, 10 bit).
• Channels can be interleaved for 5 GSamples/s recording of a single trace.
• 2x4kV HV power supply system.
FinEstLUMI
Main technique: Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PLS)
• A closed-cycle helium cryosystem (Advanced Research Systems). Temperature adjustable between 6 and 400 K
• Sample holder with space for up to 50 samples
• Fiber optics connection to the external Andor Shamrock (330i) 0.3 m UV/visible spectrometer. Three gratings available (300 l/mm, 300 nm blaze, 300 l/mm, 500 nm blaze, 1200 l/mm, 300 nm blaze). Detection with the Newton Andor CCD or PMTs on the second exit port. Covers 200-1500 nm range, max resolution 0.1 nm.
• Secondary VUV monochromator (0.4 m, 1650 l/mm, 0.6 nm resolution) covers 50-300 nm
• The set of photodiodes for the control the flux of the beam.
• The set of the filters (both solid state and gas phase) for suppressing higher order excitation.
Beamline has lead hutch, traverse crane and control room.
