Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful spectroscopic technique for investigating the vibrational and electronic states of matter. Temperature and magnetic field provide important methods to manipulate these states by an external field. Recent advancements have underscored the necessity for investigating small samples like two-dimensional materials with high spatial resolution. In this article, we introduce a versatile setup at the synchrotron infrared beamline, which combines synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy and imaging techniques with the application of magnetic fields and low temperature conditions. This setup facilitates infrared microscopic imaging in magnetic fields up to 8 T and temperatures as low as 5 K, offering a distinctive tool for probing the physical properties of materials under magnetic field and temperature manipulation. This is particularly relevant for studying two-dimensional materials, single cells, and other small samples in geoscience and environmental science, as well as multi-component heterogeneous properties in quantum materials, polymer materials, energy materials, etc.

Synchrotron sourced Fourier transform infrared (SS FTIR) microspectroscopy was employed to investigate the biological effects on the neuron-like pheochromocytoma (PC 12) cells after exposure to synchrotron sourced terahertz (SS THz) radiation. Over 10 min of exposure, the PC 12 cells received a total energy of 600 J m, with a total incident power density of ∼1.0 W m (0.

Infrared spectro-microscopy is a powerful technique for analysing chemical maps of cells and tissues for biomedical and clinical applications, yet the strong water absorption in the mid-infrared region is a challenge to overcome, as it overlaps with the spectral fingerprints of biological components. Microfluidic chips offer ultimate control over the water layer thickness and are increasingly used in infrared spectro-microscopy. However, the actual impact of the water layer thickness on the instrument's performance is often left to the experimentalist's intuition and the peculiarities of specific instruments.

The far-infrared absorption spectrum of monodeuterated water vapor, HDO, is analyzed using three high-sensitivity absorption spectra recorded by high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy at the SOLEIL synchrotron facility. The gas sample was obtained using a 1:1 mixture of HO and DO leading to a HDO abundance close to 50%. The room temperature spectra recorded in the 50-720 cm range cover most of the rotational band.

Potassium resources are abundant in the brine of chloride-type salt lakes. The main challenge in the efficient separation and extraction of potassium from salt lakes lies in the insufficient understanding of the structure and crystallization behavior of brine solutions and their correlation. In the present work, X-ray scattering (XRS) and computational simulation methods were used to study the microstructure of KCl and MgCl mixed solutions, including the hydration and association structures of ions in the solutions.
