First EXAFS spectrum measured at Solaris

The first EXAFS spectrum of a titanium foil has been succesfully measured at Solaris, marking an important step in the development of the SOLABS beamline. The spectrum is measured around the K edge of Ti in two measurement modes: transmission and total electron yield (TEY). For comparison, an analogical spectrum measured at the Synchrotron Light…

First light at the SOLABS beamline

After installing the monochromator a few days earlier, SOLARIS team, supported by the partners from the Sylinda project, has observed first light on the beamline, on the YAG crystal on Friday, September 24th. This confirms the succesfull installation of the monochromator and moves us one step closer to opening the beamline for both academic and…
