Nuclear resonance beamline

Table 9.6 List of synchrotron radiation sources which provide dedicated nuclear resonance beamlines for specific isotopes...

The aim of this chapter is to report on recent advances in the in situ Mossbauer spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation on thin films that became possible due to the instrumentation developments at the nuclear resonance beamline ID 18 of the ESRF. After a detailed description of the beamline and of the UHV system for in situ experiments, a brief introduction into the basic NRS techniques is given. Finally, the application of these techniques to investigate magnetic, diffusion, and lattice dynamics phenomena in ultrathin epitaxial Fe films deposited on a W(l 10) substrate is presented and discussed. 

A layout of the nuclear resonance beamline ID18 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France. u27 and u20 stand for the revolver-type undulators with 27 mm period for one structure and 20 mm period for the other. OH1 and OH2 are the first and second optics hutches devoted to the accommodation of HHLM, slit systems (SI, S2), CRL, HRMs, and FM. EH1, EH2, and EH3 stand for the experimental hutches, while CC1-CC3 denote the control cabins. DIFF is the six-circle diffractometer, UHV the ultrahigh-vacuum system for ns/tu experiments, and CRYO the cryomagnet system. X-ray beam monitors and attenuators are not shown.
