Beamline 7.3.3 is a SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/GIWAXS beamline, covering a wide q range (0.004 - 3 Å−1) and length scale (2 - 1500 angstrom). We are part of the "Scattering" Program under "Photon Science/Operations" group at ALS. - The scattering program consists of hard x-ray scattering (7.3.3), resonant soft x-ray scattering (11.0.1.2), COSMIC XPCS scattering branch (7.0.1), and tender x-ray scattering (5.3.1) which is under development. please find more details here Techniques: SAXS/WAXS (powder, or liquid/solution samples) GISAXS/GIWAXS (for thin films sitting on substrates) General info: X-ray energy 10 Kev (fixed) Wavelength 0.124 nm Energy band width ΔE/E =1% Beam size ~ 300um (H) x 700 um (W) (thin film size for GISAXS/GIWAXS ~ 1.5 cm x 0.5 cm) Detector: Pilatus 2M (172um pixel size, file format EDF for single or GB for tiled, 1475x1679 pixels), Pilatus 1M, Pilatus 300K Beam Status (and beam history) Sample environments: DSC hot stage for transmission (Linkam) Hot stage for grazing incidence (room T to 200 degC) Tensile stage (Linkam) Hot stage (Instec Inc., room T - 200deg C) Helium environments for GIWAXS Hot stage for powder-in-capillary samples Magnetic stage for capillary samples (<1 Tesla) Slot die printer Solvent annealing chamber for GISAXS (organic solvent vapor) Humidity chamber (water vapor) Chiller [-28, 200 degc] (Julabo F25-ME) if you need other custom in-situ setups, please feel free to contact us.
