In recent years, there have been numerous efforts worldwide to develop the synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy (SX-STM) technique. Here, the inauguration of XTIP, the world's first beamline fully dedicated to SX-STM, is reported. The XTIP beamline is located at Sector 4 of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. It features an insertion device that can provide left- or right-circular as well as horizontal- and vertical-linear polarization. XTIP delivers monochromatic soft X-rays of between 400 and 1900 eV focused into an environmental enclosure that houses the endstation instrument. This article discusses the beamline system design and its performance.
近年来,全球范围内为开发同步加速器X射线扫描隧道显微镜(SX-STM)技术做出了诸多努力。在此,报道了世界上首个完全 dedicated to SX-STM的光束线XTIP的落成启用。XTIP光束线位于阿贡国家实验室先进光子源的4号扇区。它具有一个插入装置,可提供左旋或右旋圆偏振以及水平和垂直线偏振。XTIP可提供能量在400至1900 eV之间的单色软X射线,这些X射线聚焦到容纳终端站仪器的环境舱中。本文讨论了光束线系统设计及其性能。 (注:原文中“fully dedicated to”表述不太准确,推测可能是“fully dedicated for”之类,这里按原文字面翻译)
