Technique

Sample preparation

Various sample preparation methods are available in situ within the ultrahigh vacuum system for high-resolution ARPES and nanoARPES. These methods include cleavage, sputtering/annealing, direct heating, and evaporation sources. Please discuss the sample preparation options available with our Spectroscopy team.

Data collection

Our data collection service comes with a range of options to ensure you get the most out of your experiment.  Our highly qualified and experienced team of scientists will help you to get started with your experiment and will be available for technical support during your experiment. They will help you to select the most appropriate approach to study your materials. You may wish our team to perform the experiment on your behalf or would prefer to perform the research yourself or with your own team; either way, we have a wide range of access options to suit your needs.

Contract Research

Our Contract Research service includes data collection and data analysis. Essentially, you send us the sample(s), our highly qualified and experienced staff collect the data, perform the appropriate analysis (in discussion with you) and then send you a clear and accessible report explaining the results.

There's no need for you to fully understand how a synchrotron works, or even the finer details of the technique, we'll take care of that. If you would like to come to Diamond and see the experiment taking place, you are welcome to do so. If you'd prefer to wait for the report, that's great too.

Flexible access

We provide a range of flexible access options to meet you needs.

How it works

With this option, users can access the beamline in person and oversee their own data collection. Technical assistance is available as required from our dedicated Spectroscopy team.

Self-service

Perfect for

  • This option is ideal for experienced users who are confident in leading ARPES measurements and familiar with beamline operations. It is particularly well-suited for complex experiments, such as time-resolved or in situ studies, where expert handling of the experimental setup is essential.
  • Users benefit from the flexibility to adjust experimental conditions dynamically in response to real-time results, enabling more adaptive and insightful investigations.
