X-Ray

X-ray is a powerful tool for the study of bulk and nanostructured magnetic materials used in a range of consumer products, from electric cars and cellular phones to magnetic recording disks and spintronic devices.

Since formation in 2004, HTS-110 has developed a range of HTS magnets for magnetic x-ray experiments including high resolution diffraction, non-resonant magnetic scattering, resonant magnetic scattering, X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy and imaging, which are used worldwide in synchrotron research facilities such as BESSY (Germany), ALBA (Spain), NSLS-II (USA), APS (USA), Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (Singapore) and PAL (Korea).

Key features

  • Cryogen-free with fast cool down
  • Room temperature bore or cold bore which can be integrated with variable sample temperature inserts
  • Higher operating temperatures allow faster ramping than conventional Low Temperature Superconducting (LTS) magnets
  • Passive shielding to minimize fringe fields
  • UHV compatibility
  • Rigid supports allow any field orientation
  • Large room temperature apertures with no material in x-ray beams to cause scattering background
  • Ability to be goniometer mounted for rotation
