Offer Description
The Spectromicroscopy beamline operates in the EUV–XUV spectral range and is served by an F8 undulator source shared with the BaDElPh beamline, generating an intense photon beam with variable linear polarization. Beam focusing on the sample is provided by a set of Schwarzschild objectives, delivering fixed photon energies of 27, 74, and 94 eV.
The beamline has been extensively upgraded within the framework of the Elettra 2.0 project.
The end station now comprises an advanced angle-resolved photoemission microscope equipped with an MB Scientific AB Ultra High Resolution Photoelectron Analyzer, a wide-angle acceptance lens, and an MBS 90-degree deflector with an MBS spin-manipulator. A Focus Ferrum Spin detector is available for spin-resolved measurements using the VLEED approach. The setup includes a SmarAct GmbH X, Y, Z, R, and a sample manipulator, enabling 1 nm positioning resolution, as well as a LHe flow cryostat capable of reaching temperatures as low as 20 K.
The beamline scientific case focuses on nano-ARPES studies of the electronic and spin-resolved electronic structure of quantum materials and engineered layered structures, exploiting a photon-energy range complementary to laser ARPES and other synchrotron nano-ARPES beamlines, and addressing forefront research in twistronics, valleytronics, and spintronics.
The successful candidate will be engaged in the commissioning and operation of the Spectrom
