B-SHeM
B-SHeM Brief description The SHeM is an atom microscope that resembles a miniaturised atom scattering beamline. Most of the system is under high (inc. sample chamber) and ultra-high vacuum and involves scattering a microscale atom beam off a sample. Samples are mounted on standard, or modified, SEM sample stubs. The facility operates two SHeMs and […]

Miniscat
Miniscat Brief description Miniscat is a compact atom scattering beamline designed to be compartible with the He-3 SpinEcho to perform preliminary measurements as well as independent atom diffraction experiments. The experiment is performed under high and ultra-high vacuum and involves scattering a beam of He-4 atoms off the sample. A custom sample transfer (compatible with […]
SpinEcho
SpinEcho Brief description The SpinEcho is an atom beam line that uses He-3 to perform atom scattering experiments. The experiment is performed under high and ultra-high vacuum and involves scattering a polarised beam of helium (He-3) atoms off the sample. A custom sample transfer (compatible with MiniScat) is used for mounting samples within the scattering […]
