Current Status of BL6N1 of AichiSR: a Tender X-ray Beamline for XAFS and Photoemission Spectroscopy

Abstract

At the beamline BL6N1 of Aichi Synchrotron Radiation Center (AichiSR), X-ray absorption and X-ray photoemission spectroscopies with the photon energy range of 1.75 – 6 keV can be carried out. In 2018, the former double-crystal monochromator has been replaced to a new one equipped with a cooling system for monochromator crystals. As a consequence, the stability of X-ray beam in terms of photon energy and intensity has been improved significantly. Taking this opportunity, the latest details of the experimental instruments of BL6N1 and the examples of the X-ray absorption and photoemission spectroscopy experiments available at BL6N1 will be presented in this article.
