7ID-D Hutch

Time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy and scattering of atoms and molecules

Atomic and Molecular Physics and Chemistry

The 7ID-D hutch features time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopies (XAS) such as XANES, EXAFS, and x-ray emission spectroscopy. These techniques have been applied to gas jets of atoms and molecules in vacuo (at right), and are now also performed on flowing liquid samples (below).  Recent experiments have also combined x-ray diffuse scattering and XES for simultaneous measurement of electronic and geometric structure (XAS), spin state (XES), and solvent shell rearrangements (scattering).

High-Repetition Rate Spectroscopy and Scattering

High-power, high-repetition rate lasers have been implemented in 7ID-D for efficient use of the x-ray beam (in some cases, every x-ray bunch).  Using KB mirrors to produce a microfocused x-ray probe (spot size <10 micron) allows the requisite fluence for efficient optical excitation.  This makes it feasible to perform measurements such as time-resolved resonant inelasatic x-ray scattering despite the generally weak signals.  A liquid-jet experiment combining x-ray diffuse scattering and several spectroscopy techniques is shown schematically at right.
