Synchrotron radiation monochromatized

The typical experimental setup (here the experiment established at beamline G3/ HASYLAB [12] is shown) is outlined in Figure 5. The white synchrotron radiation is monochromatized by a double crystal monochromator using the Ge (311) reflection... 

A variety of alternating copolymers based on H-allyl- and N-(3-ethynylphenyl)maleimides, with substituted styrenes and vinyl ethers, have been prepared and their response to x-ray irradiation studied. Broadband and monochromatic x-ray exposures were conducted at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. Sensitivities were observed to correlate with mass absorption coefficients of the copolymers and were found to be as high as 5-10 mJ/cm2. Preliminary fine line lithographic studies indicate 0.5 ion resolution capabilities. 

The features in C1-C4 normal alkanes discussed in Section 3 seem to be generalized to a wide range of molecules, and thus we conclude that the major part of the photoabsorption cross sections of molecules (cr) is associated with the ionization and excitation of the outer-valence electrons. Hence, there is a strong need to measure the absolute values of a in the vacuum ultraviolet range, particularly in the range of the incident photon energy 10-30 eV, which is covered by the normal incidence monochromator used to monochromatize synchrotron radiation. The photoionization (cr ) and photodissociation (cd) cross sections.

We describe beamline ID09B at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), a laboratory for optical pump and x-ray probe experiments to 100-picosecond resolution. The x-ray source is a narrow-band undulator, which can produce up to 1 x 1010 photons in one pulse. The 3% bandwidth of the undulator is sufficiently monochromatic for most diffraction experiments in liquids. A Ti sapphire femtosecond laser is used for reaction initiation. The laser mns at 896 Hz and the wavelength is tunable between 290-1160 nm. The doubled (400 nm) and tripled wavelength (267 nm) are also available. The x-ray repetition frequency from the synchrotron is reduced to 896 Hz by a chopper. The time delay can be varied from 0 ps to 1 ms, which makes it possible to follow structural processes occurring in a wide range of time scales in one experiment. 

The last decade has seen the introduction of several new characterisation techniques which have been of major assistance in understanding the structure of monolayers at a molecular level. The most important of these has been the use of synchrotron radiation to obtain diffraction patterns from films at the air/water surface. In principle it would always have been possible to use X-rays for this purpose but the high intensity and highly monochromatic nature of the radiation from a synchrotron source has made this technique far easier to use. A selection of recent papers based on this technique is given [79-88], not all of which refer to simple fatty acids. The information available from such experiments is of two distinct kinds, though, in several studies, both kinds of information have been obtained. 

The exit slit shown in Fig. 1.11 is characterized by its length and width. Since the grating disperses the white synchrotron radiation into a plane perpendicular to that of the electron storage ring, the slit width in this direction is the relevant one and determines the wavelength range of transmitted, i.e., monochromatized synchrotron radiation. 

Another important aspect of electron spectrometry of free atoms using synchrotron radiation concerns the polarization of the monochromatized light. 

Due to the mixed polarization of monochromatized synchrotron radiation, the angle dependence of photoelectron emission as expressed in equ. (1.30) for completely linearly polarized light requires modification. This is considered in detail in Section 9.1, but the implication for the corresponding appropriate experimental set-up is treated in the next section. 

When performing electron spectrometry with monochromatized synchrotron radiation, one has to consider the dependences of the observables on the parameters relevant to the process. The essential parameters are ... 

The properties of monochromatized synchrotron radiation have been discussed in detail in the previous section and the characteristic features of electrostatic spectrometers will be discussed in detail in Chapter 4, with examples of photoionization processes in certain atoms and specific questions of interest presented in Chapter 5. Therefore, the following discussion is restricted to basic aspects of electron spectrometry with monochromatized synchrotron radiation, in particular to some of the fundamental properties of electron spectrometers and to the special polarization properties of this radiation which require appropriate experimental set-ups for angle-resolved electron spectrometry (without spin-analysis for the determination of spin-polarization see Section 5.4). 

The bandpass of the incoming radiation has already been considered in connection with the monochromatization of synchrotron radiation, Section 1.4, and the finite resolution of the electron spectrometer, introduced in Section 1.5 (equ. (1.49)), will be taken up again in Section 4.2.2. Therefore, only the level width rnconvolution procedures will be discussed. Finally, the results are applied to the quantitative analysis of the linewidth obtained for the Is photoline in neon.
