PFY-XAFS (Partial Fluorescence Yield - XAFS)

Beside transmission mode XAFS from samples with well defined thickness and uniform composition, PFY-XAFS measurements can be performed using  the X-ray Emission Double Crystal Spectrometer  installed at BL15XU for a large variety of samples, both thick (bulk) and thin-films, interfaces, nano-scale crystals, dopants, or liquid samples, under both atmospheric and high vacuum conditions, at room temperature and low temperature conditions.

The high resolution of the double crystal x-ray emission spectrometer (typically dE/E ~ 104) allows to separate the in/elastic scattering  of the incident beam from the detected signal,  and record the  XAFS features from the fluorescence signal of a specified  emission line  (Ka1, La1, Lb1, etc.)

  • X-rays at sample
    • ID helical :
      • YB66 : 1.1 - 3.8 keV ; dE/E = 104 - 105
      • Si111: 2.2 - 4.5 keV; dE/E = 104 - 105
    • ID linear:
      • Si111: 4.0 - 19.5 keV; dE/E = 104 - 105
