BL5U Photoemission Spectroscopy of Solids and Surfaces
▼Description
Since the monochromator of BL5U was an old-style spherical grating type SGMTRAIN constructed in 1990s
and the throughput intensity and energy resolution were poor, the whole beamline has been replaced to
state-of-the-art monochromator and end station. The new beamline has been opened to users from FY2016 as
high-energy resolution ARPES beamline. Samples can be cooled down to 3.8 K with newly developed 5-axis
manipulator to perform high energy resolution measurements. Users can also obtain spatial-dependence of the
electronic structure of solids using micro-focused beam (~ 50 μm). The new electron lens system makes it
possible to obtain ARPES spectra without moving samples. This beamline will also have new capability to
perform high-efficient spin-resolved ARPES in the future.
