A simple cell for liquids is schematically shown in Figure 5.4, developed by Guo et al. [11]. This liquid cell consists of a metal container, an O-ring, and a 100-nm-thin SijN membrane (1x1 mm size). Liquid samples are sealed inside the metal container with O ring and the SijN membrane. The cell is then transferred into the UHV chamber at the beam line to allow access to soft X-rays. The SijN membrane enables photon-in and photon-out so that the absorption signal is measured with fluorescence yield. This also permits X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) [1], which are not discussed here.
