SixS (Surfaces interfaces x-ray Scattering) is a wide-energy range (5 -20 keV) beamline dedicated to structural studies of interfaces (gas-solid, solid-solid or solid-liquid), as well as nano-objects.

SixS (Surfaces interfaces X-ray Scattering)  is a wide-energy range (5 -20 keV) beamline dedicated to structural characterization of surfaces, interfaces (solid-solid or solid-liquid), as well as nano-objects in controlled environments by means of surface-sensitive x-ray scattering techniques, such as:

Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD)

Crystal Truncation Rods (CTR)

Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS)

Anomalous Surface X-ray Scattering

X-ray Reflectivity (XRR)

Coherent Scattering

Magnetic Surface X-ray Scattering (in the near future)

Experimental end-stations:

MED: a multi-environment diffractometer  is available which can accommodate various sample environments, such as high-pressure reactivity chambers, electrochemical cells, Langmuir troughs. It allows for scatvertical and horizontal diffraction geometry for surface / interface diffraction.

UHV:  the diffractometer is coupled to stationary assembly of UHV chambers (currently being installed) ; it is a unique design, and consists of an assembly of three chambers equipped with the standard UHV tools (evaporators, ion-guns, etc.) and specific instruments (Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).
