Department Sample Environment
Sample environment plays a crucial role for most beam line based experiments. The main task of our working group is the control of the physical parameters at the sample position like temperature, magnetic or electric field or pressure. In addition we offer in-situ preparation of the sample by for example gas adsorption or chemical reactions as well as complementary in-situ measurements.
The sample environment group (NP-ASE) supports beam line experiments at BESSY II as well as at related HZB laboratories.
Suite of cryomagnets for neutron scattering at BER-II.
At the synchroton light source BESSY-II most sample environment equipment is firmly integrated in the experimental stations. The sample environment group supports the beamlines and the users during development and construction of novel sample evironment components. For for an increasing number of beamlines we offer specialized sample environment equipment in combination with direct user service.
Complementary Laboratories
Additional to the sample environment provided for neutron and x-ray scattering the sample environment group supports different laboratories for complementary sample characterization and preparation. These laboratories are run in collaboration with the Institute Quantum Phenomena in Novel Materials (Bulk Properties Lab) and the Institute Electrochemical Storage (DEGAS - GasLab).
