We have recently upgraded the PEEM endstation at the SIM beamline to enable remotely controlled experiments via internet and mailed-in samples. Sample positioning and tilt control is now possible by means of a motorized sample stage. A newly developed computer controlled switchbox is available for remote temperature control and in situ application of electric or magnetic fields to the sample.
Current features of the PEEM endstation are:
- hybrid electron detector (EIGER ) (for details see https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600577517009109)
- Motorized sample stage
- Computer-controlled switchbox
- Azimuthal sample rotation (only local operation)
- XPEEM (XAS, XMCD, XMLD, XLD) and microXPS mode
- LEEM and microLEED (only local operation)
- Temperature range: 60 K – 2000 K
- Operation from 10-10 mbar to 10-3 mbar (gas dosing only local)
