Beamline 8A (BL 8A) is an undulator-based soft X-ray beamline at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. This beamline is aimed at high-resolution ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (soft-XAS) and scanning photoemission microscopy (SPEM) experiments. BL 8A has two branches, 8A1 SPEM and 8A2 AP-XPS, that share a plane undulator, the first mirror (M1) and the monochromator. The photon beam is switched between the two branches by changing the refocusing mirrors after the monochromator. The acceptance angle of M1 is kept glancing at 1.2°, and Pt is coated onto the mirrors to achieve high reflectance, which ensures a wide photon energy range (100-2000 eV) with high resolution at a photon flux of ∼10 photons s. In this article, the main properties and performance of the beamline are reported, together with selected experiments performed on the new beamline and experimental system.
8A 光束线(BL 8A)是浦项加速器实验室基于波荡器的软 X 射线光束线。该光束线旨在用于高分辨率常压 X 射线光电子能谱(AP-XPS)、软 X 射线吸收光谱(soft-XAS)和扫描光电子显微镜(SPEM)实验。BL 8A 有两个分支,8A1 SPEM 和 8A2 AP-XPS,它们共享一个平面波荡器、第一反射镜(M1)和单色仪。通过改变单色仪之后的再聚焦镜,光子束在两个分支之间切换。M1 的接收角保持掠射角为 1.2°,并且在反射镜上镀有铂以实现高反射率,这确保了在光子通量约为 10 个光子/秒的情况下,在 100 - 2000 eV 的宽光子能量范围内具有高分辨率。在本文中,报告了该光束线的主要特性和性能,以及在新光束线和实验系统上进行的选定实验。
