AILES Beamline
Research Contents > Beamlines > Advanced Infrared Line Exploited for Spectroscopy - AILES

The AILES Beamline is dedicated to Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy for materials and molecules. The usefull spectral range spans from the Mid- to Far Infrared (IR) or Terahertz (THz) domains, but the best performance concern the 8 to 1000 cm-1 energy range, with a maximum resolution of 0.0008 cm-1.

Research on AILES involves molecular spectroscopy and studies of optical properties of materials. The concerned scientific community spreads from physics to chemistry and biology.

 
Boosting memory capacity with Prussian blue  
 

Prussian blue has been prized by artists since the 18th century. Today, scientists are taking a keen interest in this pigment by studying what happens when some of its iron atoms are replaced by cobalt atoms. Research is carried out on the infrared beamline AILES.
