A new user-friendly materials science end station at the FinEstBeAMS beamline of MAX IV

• FinEstBeAMS is an atmospheric and materials science beamline located at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It offers a very wide photon energy range 4.5-1300 eV and radiation with different polarization characteristics. The beamline has three end stations installed at two branch lines. The new solid state end station (SSES) is described in this paper. It is a high-throughput apparatus with flexible sample preparation options for X-ray photoemission, angle-resolved photoemission, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Three examples of experiments at room temperature demonstrate the capabilities of the SSES in the research field of surface science and condensed matter physics.
