Synopsis
ID01 is an X-ray diffraction and scattering beamline devoted to the study of a wide variety of materials, from nanostructures to bulk, with the ability to perform imaging of strain and structure using full field diffraction imaging, coherent X-ray diffraction methods and/or nanodiffraction.
Typical samples range from microelectronic devices to novel metal-organic solar cells or battery electrodes.

Technical details
Photon Flux
Nanofocused beam: 3x108 - 1x1010 (4x109 coherent) ph/s
with the EBS source we anticipate a gain of x30 for all nanofocus experiments
FFDXM: 1x1012 ph/s
Other
For XRD, the beamline offers nanodiffraction (Fresnel zone plates/ KB mirrors), microdiffraction (beryllium lenses), and coherent X-ray diffraction. A high-precision Huber diffractometer is available. The sample stage is installed on a granite table for stability and is decoupled from the detector arm. A compact hexapod is on top of the sample stage for fine alignment of the sample. Piezo stages with capacitive encoders for high precision nanotranslations are on top of the hexapod. 0D, 1D and 2D detectors are available. Typical vibration levels on the beamline have been measured at 20-30nm, drifts from 60-100nm/hr after the experiment hutch has been closed for 12-24 hours. Several in-situ chambers are available; including cooling, heating, gas flow and vacuum.
