New end station for the study of gases, liquids, and solid films at the MAX laboratory

Abstract

A new end station equipped with a very high-resolution SES-200 electron energy analyzer has been constructed for the study of gases and soft molecular materials. The analyzer is rotatable around the direction of the photon beam, allowing angular-dependent studies. The system has been built in a way allowing the investigation of free molecules and atoms, metal vapors, liquid interfaces as well as solid films. The first electron spectroscopy results for gases, liquids, and polymer films are presented.
