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 […]
