Sample Environments (Resident at beamline)
Heater Cell
The heater cell is capable of several hundred degrees centigrade. Improvements are underway to reach up to 1000 C. It also supports gas flow through the chamber. It is not vacuum compatible.
Linkam Cryo stage
The guts of this cell is a Linkam THMS controller. Temperatures as low as -100 C are possible but since the 3D printed chamber is not vacuum compatible, icing can be significant. Development of a highly dried gas environment is underway to minimize icing. The cell can also support moderate heating, limited by melting the 3D printed chamber. We have maintained 50 C for many hours with no problem. A newer version of the chamber, than that pictured, includes a magnetically secured removable cover.
Liquid/Gas Flow Cell
A small liquid flow cell is available with a peristaltic pump. A mylar or propylene film is pressed over the sample to maintain a thin liquid layer to minimize absorption of the x-ray beam. The same cell is often used for room temperature gas flow experiments.
Coin Cell holder
In-situ battery cycling is possible with a potentiostat that can be borrowed from the electrochemistry lab at APS. One can also be trained to load AMPIX cells in the echem lab. 34-ID-C also has an AMPIX cell holder compatible with the beamline.
Available Detectors
ASI Quad Timpix with GaAs absorber. This detector is our daily workhorse. The structure of the GaAs needs to be divided out of the data. We have a collection of whitefield images taken at various energies.
