Abstract

PEAXIS (Photo Electron Analysis and resonant X-ray Inelastic Spectroscopy) is a dedicated endstation installed at the beamline U41-PEAXIS that offers high resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy measurements with incident photon energies ranging from 180 – 1600 eV. The endstation combines two X-ray spectroscopic techniques, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering (RIXS), which are important for probing the electronic structure and local and collective excitations of solid-state materials. It features a continuous variation of scattering angle under UHV conditions for wave vector-resolved studies and a modular sample environment that allows investigation in the temperature range between 10 K and 1000 K.
