PNCSRF Pacific Northwest Consortium Synchrotron Radiation Facility

太平洋西北联盟同步辐射设施（PNCSRF）为来自加拿大各地的科学家提供同步辐射光束线，仪器和所有技术，这些技术是太平洋西北联盟合作访问小组（PNC- cat）开发的，并将继续发展为重组后的PNC/XOR （x射线操作和研究），位于伊利诺伊州阿贡国家实验室的先进光子源。它允许研究凝聚态物理、表面科学、化学、材料科学、环境科学、地球和地球科学等广泛的问题。x射线技术用于从单晶到液体的有序和无序系统中提取结构信息。在复杂系统中可以得到协调、物种形成或分布。在微秒到亚纳秒时间尺度上进行时间分辨研究是可能的。PNC/XOR有两条可操作的束线：插入装置（ID，多极波动器）束线和弯曲磁铁（BM）束线。微光束和光谱的应用被强调，但散射技术是可用的。双晶单色仪可以在2.4 keV至75 keV的能量范围内以扫描模式操作。光谱技术包括XAFS （XANES和EXAFS）、表面XAFS、DAFS（衍射异常精细结构）和XSW （x射线驻波）。扫描微成像、微xafs和微衍射可达到1微米的空间分辨率。x射线散射实验可以用1、2、4和8圆衍射仪进行。x射线非弹性散射技术包括共振拉曼散射和非共振拉曼散射。相干布拉格棒分析（COBRA）外延薄膜的原子结构是可能的。x射线磁圆二色性（XMCD）的磁性研究是可能的。两种分子束外延（MBE）系统可用于XAFS和表面x射线衍射的原位表征。激光泵浦x射线探针实验可以用高重复率激光系统发射250 fs持续时间的脉冲，同步到单个100 ps的x射线光子束。

The Pacific Northwest Consortium Synchrotron Radiation Facility (PNCSRF) provides scientists from across Canada access to the synchrotron radiation beamlines, the instrumentation and all the techniques that the Pacific Northwest Consortium Collaborative Access Team (PNC-CAT) has developed and will continue to develop as the reorganized PNC/XOR (x-ray operations and research) at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, U.S.A. It permits the study of a broad range of problems in condensed matter physics, surface science, chemistry, materials science, environmental science, earth and geosciences. X-ray techniques are used to extract information on the structure of ordered and disordered systems from single crystals to liquids.  Coordination, speciation or distribution can be obtained in complex systems. Time resolved studies on the microsecond to sub-nanosecond time scale are possible. The PNC/XOR has two beamlines operational: an insertion device (ID, multi-pole undulator) beam line and a bending magnet (BM) beamline. Microbeams and spectroscopic applications are emphasized, but scattering techniques are available. Double crystal monochromators can be operated in a scanning mode over the energy range  2.4 keV to 75 keV. Spectroscopic techniques include XAFS (XANES and EXAFS), surface XAFS, DAFS (diffraction anomalous fine structure), and XSW (x-ray standing wave). Scanning micro-imaging, micro-XAFS and micro- diffraction can be done to 1 micron spatial resolution. X-ray scattering experiments are possible with one, two, four, and eight circle diffractometers.  X-ray inelastic scattering techniques include resonant and non-resonant Raman scattering. Coherent Bragg Rod Analysis (COBRA) of the atomic structure of epitaxial films is possible. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies of magnetic properties are possible.  Two molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems are available for in situ characterization with XAFS and surface x-ray diffraction.  Laser-pump x-ray-probe experiments are possible with a high repetition rate laser system emitting pulses of 250 fs duration synchronized to a single 100 ps bunch of x-ray photons.
