HXMA - Hard X-ray Micro-Analysis Beamline

HXMA can be used to study the elemental local structure environment of materials in-situ and ex-situ, accommodating bulk and thin film samples.

Spectral Range

5 – 40 keV

Techniques

Spectroscopy

  • Grazing Incidence X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (GI-XAFS)

Samples

For transmission mode, powder samples can be prepared into pressed pellets on-site. HXMA also has a liquid helium cryostat for certain XAFS experiments.
