Built as a system for photoemission and near-edge X-ray absorption, the PHOENEX station is now used for spin- and angle-resolved photoemission exclusively.

The system is built around a modified SPECS Phoibos 150 hemispherical analyzer equipped with a mini Mott polarimeter. The latter has been developed as the first of its kind based on the known trajectories from the Phoibos analyzer. It operates by means of retardation and features two pairs of channeltrons for the two perpendicular spin quantization axes in the sample surface plane for normal emission. For off-normal emission, this axis is correspondingly tilted. An adjustable iris-type aperture allows for an angular resolution down to 1°.

Samples are mounted on a custom built 5 axes manipulator. The system further features two chambers for preparation purposes and a fast entry lock for sample exchange.
