ABSTRACT

  This beamline is designed for conducting various experiments performed by the members of new material, bio-crystallography and industrial users teams organized by Hyogo prefecture. Employing a figure-8 undulator which can provide both vertically and horizontally polarized hard X-rays, three experimental equipments for different purposes can be operated simultaneously. Two double-crystal monochromators composed of diamond crystals are placed in the center of a white beam from the undulator to introduce monochromatized X-rays to a bio-crystal structure analysis hutch (experimental hutch A) and a material characterization hutch (experimental hutch B). The latter hutch enables in-situ grazing incidence X-ray diffraction to observe atom arrangements during epitaxial growth using metal-organic chemical vapor sources. Therefore, a disposal system for exhausting gases has been completed.
  A microbeam with a size of smaller than 1 µm and also a microbeam with a small angular divergence have been developed in the experimental hutch C1 and C2, respectively, with respect to its application for material and life science.
