Beamline 4-ID-C

Beamline 4-ID-C is operated by the Magnetic Materials Group in the X-ray Science Division (XSD) of the Advanced Photon Source.

Research on this beamline focuses on the study of magnetic properties interfaces and dillute systems using x-ray spectroscopy techniques at energies between 500 to 2500 eV.

A New Spin on Inducing Chirality in Pre-biological Molecules

October 23, 2008

Researchers using beamline 4-ID-C have demonstrated that a previously unconsidered mechanism can play a role in chiral-selective chemistry: namely low-energy spin-polarized secondary electrons, produced by irradiation of a magnetic substrate.
