11-ID-D

11-ID-B is dedicated to Pair-Distribution-Function (PDF) measurements with area detectors. The instrument operates at high X-ray energies (60 keV, 90 keV) and is optimized for:

  • High throughput measurements
  • Non-ambient / in-situ measurements
Typical configurations may involve a sample changer, cryostream, compact furnace/flow cell, compact pressure cells (<15 GPa, under development), and single-crystal diffuse scattering (under development).

 

11-ID-C is used for scattering studies at extreme conditions. The high energy X-ray beam (115 keV) is highly penetrating and allows a wide coverage of reciprocal space over a small angular scattering range. This is particularly advantageous for experiments that require bulky sample environments (e.g. magnets, cryostats, levitator).

11-ID-D provides laser-induced time-resolved (LITR) spectroscopic and scattering tools to probe electronic and structural changes along reaction pathways. These tools are used to probe complex hierachical systems with potential applications in areas of energy conversion/storage such as solar cells, light emitting devices, molecular machines, or catalytic systems.
