With the increasing demands of in-situ/operando spectroscopy investigations of energy mateirals with the high energy resolution, it is substantially vital to setup a beamline in SSRF with the wide energy range and high energy resolution. Consequently, the Energy Material beamline (E-line), spanning soft and hard x-ray with the photon energy from 130 eV to more than 18 keV, has been...
SAPOTI will be the second nanoprobe to be installed at the CARNAUBA (Coherent X-Ray Nanoprobe Beamline) beamline at the 4th-generation light source Sirius at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) [1]. Working in the energy range from 2.05 to 15 keV, it has been designed for simultaneous multi-analytical X-ray techniques, including absorption, diffraction, spectroscopy, fluorescence...
POLYX is a newly constructed compact bending magnet beamline at the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre in Kraków. The design of POLYX was motivated by the high demand among Polish synchrotron radiation users for experiments at hard X-ray energies. The operating range of POLYX, 5 – 15 keV, is well above the 2 keV critical energy of the 1.5 GeV SOLARIS source. To compensate for the...
This contribution presents the main developments and science outcomes of the CARNAÚBA X-ray nanoprobe beamline, recently installed at the new SIRIUS 4th-generation synchrotron source at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS). The beamline has operated since November 2020 for technical and scientific commissioning and since 2022 for standard user proposals. Its design uses...
We have developed a next-generation scanning X-ray microscope RASMI (RApid Scanning Microscopy Instrument) for high-throughput tomographic imaging. RASMI is installed at the Hard X-ray Nanoprobe (HXN) beamline at NSLS-II, and is capable of housing 1D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) and 2D optics (both zone plates and monolithically assembled 2D MLLs). The sample scanning stage utilizes...
The Transmission X-ray Microscope (TXM) endstation at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) shares similar functionalities with the Projection X-ray Microscope (PXM) endstation. Both endstation serve as potential scientific tools for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and prove invaluable for non-destructive industrial inspections.The TXM endstation's foundation diverges from the conventional...
Advanced operando techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are powerful tools in field of catalysis to observe structural changes [1]. Certain limitations in catalyst mass, product formation and/or applicable pressure and temperature has to be considered. To extend the portfolio of reactions that can be investigated operando an infrastructure within...
