BM01 Beamline - Diffraction and Crystallography

ABSTRACT

The BM01 beamline at the ESRF is one out of two beamlines of Swiss-Norwegian collaborative research group. The primary mission of the BM01 of SNBL is to provide a world class instrument for Norwegian and Swiss communities, complimentary to the scope of our second beamline BM31. BM01 beamline was initially designed as a single crystal diffraction station, but now the portfolio of techniques at BM01 includes: single crystal diffraction (crystallography, large volume and high-resolution mapping of reciprocal space), powder diffraction (in high resolution or high intensity mode), surface diffraction (GIWAXS, texture or reciprocal space mapping). The beamline offers a broad range of auxiliary equipment, from Raman spectroscopy to dedicated in-situ and operando cells developed locally. We also offer a collection of software tools for data processing and analysis; many of them are developed in a close collaboration with the users. Our users are mostly working in a broad field of material science, including battery research, hydrogen storage materials, calorics, ferroelectrics, catalysts, photovoltaics, and various porous media for gas storage and separation. Here the scientific activity at the beamline will be illustrates by experimental mapping of the phase diagram for a barocaloric compound, by a study of relaxation processes in a disconnected electrochemical battery, and by a reconstruction of correlated distribution of metal halide clusters in a porous structure.
