Progress in development of a new luminescence setup at the FinEstBeAMS beamline of the MAX IV laboratory
The main funding for the FinEstBeAMS beamline has been obtained from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (project "Estonian beamline to MAX-IV synchrotron", granted to the University of Tartu) and from the Academy of Finland through the Finnish Research Infrastructure funding projects ( FIRI2010 , FIRI2013 , FIRI2014 ). The authors also acknowledge the funding contributions of the University of Oulu , University of Turku , Tampere University of Technology , the Estonian Research Council ( IUT 2-25 , IUT 2-26 , PRG-111 ), as well as the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Research "Advanced materials and high-technology devices for sustainable energetics, sensorics and nanoelectronics" TK141 (2014-2020.4.01.15-0011). The strategic funding of Finnish FIMAX consortium coordinating university , University of Oulu , for beamline personnel is also acknowledged. The authors thank the MAX IV Laboratory for financial and infrastructural support as well as for assistance during the construction of the FinEstBeaMS beamline. ; FinEstBeAMS is a new materials science beamline at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It has been built based on grazing incidence monochromatization of synchrotron light, which allows to cover a remarkably wide excitation energy range from ultraviolet to soft x-rays (4.5–1450 eV). A new mobile luminescence spectroscopy end station has been commissioned with design benefitting from the advantages of a high flux elliptically polarizing undulator light source. We report on the design of the luminescence end station, its technical realization and performance achieved so far. Special attention is paid to the experimental challenges for luminescence spectroscopy under grazing incidence excitation conditions. The first luminescence results obtained demonstrate a reliable performance of the advanced setup at FinEstBeAMS. ; Eesti Teadusagentuur IUT 2-25,PRG-111,IUT 2-26; European Commission; University of Tartu; Academy of Finland FIRI2010,FIRI2013,FIRI2014; Tampereen Teknillinen Yliopisto; Turun Yliopisto; European Regional Development Fund; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as the Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART²
