SSRL Beamline 5-2

The BL5-2 station is a plane grating monochromator beam line optimized for high-resolution ARPES, in the photon energy range of 25 – 200 eV with full polarization control. The dedicated experimental end station is equipped with a SCIENTA DA30 electron spectrometer. This system is capable of performing ARPES experiments with a total energy resolution of a few meV and an angular resolution of ~0.1°. It is also equipped with a low-temperature sample manipulator with three rotational degrees of freedom, which can be cooled down to less than 10 K. Beamline 5-2 features an interconnected molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and ARPES system which facilitates in-situ sample growth and characterization.
