Multichamber ARPES UHV system [project 042]

Discription

The ARPES system is a customised multi-chamber UHV sys­tem for the investigation of physical properties (electronic band structure) of high temperature super­conductors.

Specification

  • Multi-chamber system designed around a central radial distribution chamber with attached analytical chamber and auxiliary chambers that fulfill the demands of sample transportation under true UHV conditions (pres­sure <10-10 mbar). The base pressure in the analytical chambers is < 5*10-11 mbar.
  • Multi-technique analytical chamber integrating various surface analysis methods; Monochromatic UV Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) and LEED. Sample positioning is via a stable, high precision, 5 axis mani­pulator with all axes motorised for automatic surface mapping. The sample receiving station is equipped with a closed cycle helium cryostat that allows temperature variation over the range 10 K to 400 K. The mu-metal chamber  is equipped with a hemisperical analyser incorporating 2D detector with  energy resolution better then 0.5 meV and also incorporates a  monochromatic UV source and a LEED system. The flexible design allows for easy modification to meet fu­ture scientific demands
  • The system is designed so that it can be used in the laboratory as well as on a synchrotron beam line. The analyser is mounted horizontally and can be easily ro­tated by 90 degrees. The frame has easy height and x-y adjustment for quick and easily reproduced alignment
  • Single level preparation chamber equipped with ion source and mass spectrometer and numerous ports for future expansion
  • Load lock chamber for loading up to six samples with internal bakeout facility
  • Storage chamber for 6 sample holders

Multichamber ARPES UHV system [project 072]

Discription

The system is designed for ARPES research. It consists of a moveable frame and four chambers. The frame allows precise positioning of the system in all three axes. Each chamber has its own dedicated pumping system with the exception of the Preparation chamber, which is connected to, and pumped via, the distribution chamber). The system can be easily extend in the future to add e.g. an MBE chamber.

Specification

The system is equipped with a high-resolution photoelectron spectrometer with exceptional parallel detection, enabling an energy resolution of 1.4 meV and an angular resolution of 0.2°.

The high precision 5-axis motorised sample manipulator in the analysis chamber is equipped with a He cryostat and a high precision sample distribution stage. A load lock and sample preparation chamber complete the system to form a rugged experimental station.

The manipulator allows angle-resolved measurements over 2 p steradian below 10K. The system is engineered to be controlled completely by a touch-screen menu. Sample manipulation inside the system is facilitated by a specially designed high precision transfer mechanism.

XPS/UPS/ARPES system [project 511]

The surface analysis systems product line from PREVAC is based on highly flexible analysis tool optimised for XPS (ESCA), UPS, ARPES, ISS and AES measurements. The energy resolution of the hemispherical analyser is < 3 meV (FWHM at 2 eV pass energy). Additional to the spectrometer a versatile control software is delivered which stores the data in an open-standard format (JSON) and allows exporting the data into various other formats (hdf5, ini, txt), which are used by different standalone XPS evaluation programs.
