11-ID-B: Total scattering and powder diffraction

XSD
Catalysis, Chemistry, Environmental Science, GeoScience, Materials Science

11-ID-B is a dedicated total scattering beamline for pair-distribution-function (PDF) analysis and also offers high-energy x-ray powder diffraction at fixed energies of 59 and 87 keV. Variable temperature measurements are supported (including low- and high-temperature 80K to 1200K). A variety of gases are available for reaction based, in-situ chemistry experiments. Electrochemical experiments are routinely supported. The addition of 1D focusing lenses and a high precision hexapod enable Grazing Incidence X-ray scattering. Visible light Raman scattering can be available as secondary probe for suitable experiments.
