The NIST XPS microscope
The NIST XPS microscope at NSLS II is for the elemental and chemical analysis of engineering materials at the meso-scale (10-1000 nm)
CHA
The electron energy analyzer on the microscope is a concentric hemispherical analyzer (CHA). The CHA we are using is not standard, and has two apertures right through the instrument to […]
mini-magnet
A critical development in the creation of a new VPPEM instrument has been the design and manufacture in-house of a mini superconducting magnet. This is a fully shielded 2.0 Tesla […]
