AI Article Synopsis
- A new inelastic X-ray scattering instrument has been developed at CMC-XOR, Advanced Photon Source, featuring a 2 m vertical-scattering arm designed to minimize twisting during movement.
- A Ge(733) spherical analyzer was created, achieving a resolution of 118 meV (FWHM) using a Si(444) monochromator and a Si(111) pre-monochromator.
- Initial testing on the cuprate La(2)CuO(4) shows promising early results.
Article Abstract
The design and commissioning of an inelastic X-ray scattering instrument at CMC-XOR at the Advanced Photon Source is reported. The instrument features a 2 m vertical-scattering arm with a novel counterweight design to reduce the twisting moment as the arm is moved in the scattering plane. A Ge(733) spherical analyzer was fabricated and an overall resolution of 118 meV (FWHM) was obtained with a Si(444) monochromator and a Si(111) pre-monochromator. Early results from a representative cuprate, La(2)CuO(4), are reported.
