The accelerator complex consists of a 53 MeV microtron as a preaccelerator, a 500 MeV booster synchrotron and a 2.5 GeV storage ring. The injector has a repetition rate of 1 Hz and the booster current is about 5 mA. Injection into the storage ring is two times a day; a nominal current of up to 200 mA is accumulated in the storage ring at 500 MeV and then ramped to 2.5 GeV. The lifetime of the stored beam at 2.5 GeV is 16 hours for 150 mA. Figure 1 gives an overview of the facility with the injector inside the radiation shield wall and figure 2 shows a photo of the ANKA hall.
Figure 2: View of the ANKA hall with the accelerator complex. The enclosure in the center houses the microtron and booster synchrotron; the 2.5 GeV storage ring with 110 m circumference is located close to the inner side of the concrete radiation protection wall.

Injector
Electrons are generated from a triode gun at 90 keV and are injected into a racetrack microtron. This gun was installed in 2009 and allows both multibunch and single bunch operation. The acceleration unit of the microtron is a 5.3 MV linac, through which the electrons pass 10 times to pick up the final energy of 53 MeV. The linac has a radiofrequency of 3 GHz and is powered by a 6 MW klystron. The main dipoles of the microtron have a field of 1.2 T. The microtron is shown in Figure 3.The electrons from the microtron are injected off-axis into the booster synchrotron in a multi-turn process with one kicker positioned opposite to the injection septum. The optics of the booster synchrotron consists of four pairs of 45° bends and horizontally focusing quadrupoles before and after each bend doublet; vertical focusing is achieved only by the edge fields of the bends. The dipole field is 1 T at 0.5 GeV, the dipole radius is 1.67 m. The quadrupoles have a length of 0.12 m, a bore radius of 38 mm, and a maximum field gradient of 6 T/m. Figure 4 shows a photo of the injector and the layout. The booster synchrotron has a circumference of 26.4 m.
The acceleration in the booster synchrotron is achieved by a single-cell, 500 MHz, 200 W cavity. The electrons are extracted from the booster synchrotron by a slow bump and a fast kick. For injection into the storage ring the beam in the storage ring is deflected towards the storage ring septum by means of three kickers.

RF system
The electrons in the storage ring are accelerated by four 500 MHz ELETTRA-type cavities. The cavities have a shunt impedance of R = UC / 2PC = 3.4 MΩ. The cavities are powered by two 250 kW klystrons, with each klystron feeding two cavities.
The cavities are located in two of the short straight sections. A photo of one of the SR cavity stations and the booster cavity is shown in Figure 7 (the cavities in the storage ring have the same form but a more elaborate cooling and tuning system).
The storage ring cavities are tuned both by squeezing the cavity body and by changing the cavity temperature. This allows to select a setting at 2.5 GeV for which no higher order modes are excited. At injection energy (0.5 GeV), damping due to radiation emission is small, and thus higher modes are always present. The higher order modes cause instabilities and limit the maximum achievable current.A photo of the RF Sation is shown in Figure 8.

The vacuum system of the ANKA storage ring is made from nonmagnetic 316LN stainless steel. The electron beam chamber has an internal width of 70 mm and a height of 32 mm. At a current of 200 mA, a radiation power of 125 kW has to be absorbed. The corresponding gas load of 2·10-6 mbar l/s has to be pumped to maintain a pressure of 10-9 mbar or better.
The chambers in the dipoles and the adjacent multipoles downstream, which receive most of the power and gas load, have ante chambers
equipped with lumped absorbers. All other vacuum chambers have distributed absorbers along the outer side of the chamber.
Pumping is performed by diode ion pumps (500 l/s close to the lumped absorbers, 150 l/s elsewhere). In total pumps with a nominal pumping speed of 20 000 l/s are installed. Pictures of the dipole vacuum chamber and the lumped absorber are shown in figures 12 and 13.

ANKA has 8 straight sections: 4 are about 4.5 m long and the other 4 about 1.5 m long. Two of the short straight sections are used for the RF cavities and one for beam injection from the booster to the storage ring. The remaining short and the 4 long straight sections can be used for insertion devices.The calculated photon flux of the dipole magnet and the installed insertion devices are given in Figure 14.Four insertion devices are installed at ANKA, the high field wiggler W74 for the SUL-X beamline (Figure 15), a 100 mm period length undulator U 100 for the WERa beamline (Figure 16) and two wigglers with 200 mm period length for the NaNO and IMaGE beamlines.

can easily write their own macros or modify the provided standard macros to meet their particular needs. To control the various beamline components, VME-bus as well as GPIB-bus and TCP/IP are used. Since ANKA is migrating for beamline control to TANGO (see tango-controls.org), the communication between the different control systems as spec and WinCC OA is fully TANGO-based and also all new implemented devices are controlled via TANGO device servers (Fig. 2). The beamline control of the optics section is done via WinCC OA. All access to valves, absorbers and cooling is controlled and supervised by the S7 programmable logic controller (PLC), protecting the beamline components and the vacuum of the ANKA storage ring. The distributed structure of WinCC OA allows to control the beamline via LAN wherever required.
The personnel safety at the beamlines (BPSS) is guaranteed by an independent, fail-safe, three-processor PSS3100 PLC, which controls the status of all radiation shutters and the doors of the lead hutches. The safety system is also connected to the machine safety relay and triggers the RF-shutdown in the case of an emergency beam dump request from a beamline. The system safety hard- and software is certified. The BPSS control cabinet is located at each beamline and controls the status and error state of all safety components of a beamline. All beamline PSS3100 PLCs are connected via a safety bus to the central PSS3100 cabinet in the ANKA control room. The BPSS status is given to the user in a WinCC OA window on the beamline PC.

As Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) for ANKA, WinCC Open Architecture (preliminary PVSS-II) is used, integrating most of the individual sub-control systems (Figure 1). WinCC OA runs under Windows and Linux. It is completely event driven with a central event manager and it allows connection of a variety of industrial devices with interfaces like OPC, SNMP and also field busses. All managers and drivers talk via TCP/IP with the central event manager, so the system can be distributed over as many systems as needed. The open C++ application interface (API) allows of own managers and drivers. WinCC OA allows virtually unlimited number of variables, the entire internal database can be stored into an ASCII file, easily be modified and re-imported. All control structures and data points can be updated on-line without stopping the system. A powerful ANSI-C like scripting language is used to adapt WinCC OA.
Accelerator ControlTo pave the way for a 100-fold increase in devices that communicate over TCP/IP a completely isolated private network has been commissioned. As the network is the communication backbone of the control system, it must be very robust to ensure stable operation of the machine. The first devices to be used over this network were 40 new beam position monitoring (BPM) electronic systems. These BPMs not only increased the reliability of the control system substantially, but also offered much more in beam diagnostics, such as first turn read-out, turn-by-turn readout and a 10kHz fast feedback read out of the beam position. These new devices, along with the ageing old ACS control system, motivated a decision to move to a completely new control system (EPICS).
One challenge of the new BPM electronics was to move the control system high-level client for orbit correction to accept an EPIC connection instead of the old ACS while still allowing at the same time to control the corrector magnets that remained in the old control system. This was achieved by developing a software gateway that would allow EPICS clients to transparently access process variables in the ACS control system. The intention is to replace these correctors with Ethernet based, fast response magnets and power supplies so as to take advantage of the BPM fast feedback correction system now available.
Another new device installed in the ANKA storage ring is the NANO wiggler. Full control was developed with EPICS and the graphical user interface CSS as a test case for new tools. This has set an ANKA standard which can be applied to any newly integrated device so as to keep the whole control and operation of the machine completely homogeneous.
Beamline ControlThe command-line-based control environment ‘spec’ is the heart of the beamline experiment control. The measurement logic of spec is coded in macros using a C-like language. Thus, individual users

Scientific applications x-ray Fluorescence Analysis is a well-established multi-element technique, capable of yielding accurate quantitative information on the elemental composition of materials. Synchrotron radiation x-ray fluorescence analysis (SR-xRF) is one of the few methods which offer sub-femtogram and sub-ppm levels of detectability, combined with a completely non-destructive manner of probing and a high level of accuracy. The high degree of linear polarization, combined with the high intensity of synchrotron radiation, can be effectively used to perform trace-level microanalysis.In general, the xRF technique does not require elaborate sample preparation: the sample can be used in its original state, without destruction by the measurement process. This is an important advantage of the method for analysis of precious works of art, as well as for many environmental and biological samples. Besides detailed information about chemical composition and trace element concentrations, (microprobe) xRF can also yield valuable information
about spatial elemental distribution.An important application of µ-xRF is the study of small particles, where the arrangement of phases and subclusters can be correlated to the processes of creation, alteration and ageing. For example, the analysis of radioactive environmental particles is yielding forensic information on nuclear accidents or nuclear weapon testing. A further example of small particles with tell-tale phase composition are geological tectites, such as meteor impact ejecta.
Spatial information is very important for accessing the bioavailability and thus the hazard potential of toxic or volatile elements in environmental sediments and soils. Using spatially resolved µxRF, toxic element bearing mineral phases can be identified and potential structure-related mobilization processes can be studied. Examples are arsenic bearing silicates in aquifer sediments (Bengal) and uranium in tertiary sediments as model systems for waste disposal.
Materials science applications such as the specification and localization of contaminants in high purity materials, or the homogeneity of alloys or thin films on µm length scales, benefit primarily from the high sensitivity and accuracy of SR-xRF.

Available methodsx-Ray fluorescence microprobe (µ-xRF): This technique confines the analytical region of the sample being analyzed to a microscopically small area on the surface or even to a small volume element in the bulk. Resolution in the µm range can be attained.
Confocal x-ray fluorescence Microprobe: A method for obtaining three dimensional elemental distribution on a micrometer scale. In confocal µ-xRF, a (polycapillary) lens is placed in front of the detector, confining its field of view. This very flexible method allows the recording of elemental maps at different depth levels below the surface with a depth resolution of about 10-20 µm.
Total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TxRF): TxRF is the surface-sensitive variant of x-ray fluorescence analysis that is used either to detect trace impurities on the surface of flat samples (e.g. silicon wafers) or to analyze very small sample masses deposited on a polished substrate. Detection limits as low as 108 atoms/cm2 can be achieved.
Tomographic µ-xRF:A method for obtaining three-dimensional elemental distribution with resolution of a few micrometer. By using a CCD area detector and/or monitoring the transmitted beam, x-ray powder diffraction tomography and transmission tomography can be performed simultaneously, yielding complementary data.

INEBeamline for actinide research
Spectroscopy
............................................Information
The INE-Beamline at ANKA is dedicated to actinide research with emphasis on X-ray spectroscopic techniques. It has been constructed and is operated by the Institute for Nuclear Waste Disposal (INE) at the KIT Campus North. Investigations on non-fissile radioisotopes up to 106 times the limit of exemption and fissile radioisotopes (Pu-239, U-235) up to 200 mg, contained within two layers of protection, are possible. The synchrotron-based activities at the INE-Beamline are embedded in INE’s in-house research, thereby allowing a combination of analytical and instrumental methods, notably laser techniques and microscopic methods.
Scientific applicationsResearch and development at INE is largely aimed at long-term safety assessment of proposed deep geological repositories for high-level, heat-producing nuclear waste disposal. To ensure sound safety assessment, a molecular understanding of processes determinant in the fate of radionuclides, notably the actinides, and their thermodynamic quantification is essential. Of central importance in such investigations is actinide speciation, or the actinide’s molecular, chemical and physical form. Actinide speciation determines transport properties (mobilization / immobilization), reactivity, bio-availability and, hence, their potential human and environmental risk. x-ray spectroscopic methods have proved to be valuable tools for actinide speciation research at INE, providing information on the coordination and redox chemistry of actinide cations, e.g., sorbed onto surfaces (e.g., at the mineral - water interface), occluded or included into the structure of precipitates, colloids, and secondary phases, as well as into glass and spent fuel and their corrosion products.
The INE-Beamline is used by many European groups for similar and various other applied and basic science investigations. The INE-Beamline is a pooled facility of the EU FP-7 project TALISMAN, follow-up of the ACTINET-I3 initiative.

Instrumental characteristics The necessary infrastructure and safety equipment is available at the INE-Beamline for radioactive experiments. The available energy range at the INE-Beamline covers the K-edges from P (2.1 keV) to Pd (25 keV), including the L-edges of lanthanide elements and the lighter actinide elements (up to the Cf L3-edge).
The double crystal monochromator (DCM) design has a mechanically coupled movement of the second crystal while scanning the Bragg angle (Θ), enabling a fast fixed exit mode for quick-xAFS studies. Four pairs of DCM crystals are presently available, InSb(111), Si(111), Si(311), and Ge(422). The beamline optics include collimating and focusing Rh coated silicon mirrors for a ~500 µm × 500 µm beam spot at the sample position.
The instrumentation at the INE-Beamline is continuously improved and additions made to meet the demands of the user community. In the recent past, for example, specialized sample environments including
an electrochemical cell for in-situ redox-studies and a cell enabling high-T / pressure measurements were developed and commissioned. Microfocus options are now available for spatially resolved xRF, xAFS and xRD investigations using a focused x-ray beam with micrometer dimensions. Poly-capillary half-lenses, delivering a focused beam of ~25 µm in diameter and a single-bounce capillary (SBC) for ~35 µm in diameter (both IfG, Germany), are available. The SBC is specifically designed to adapt to the high horizontal divergence of the beam. Therewith, combined µ-xRD and µ-xAFS investigations are possible.

Upgrades at the INE-beamline
The setup for confocal µ-xAFS and µ-xRF measurements based on polycapillary half-lenses was completed by integrating a new x/y/z-stage, which allows precise positioning of the silicon drift fluorescence detector (SDD) relative to the primary focus. All components (primary capillary hexapod positioning system, sample stage, detector stage, visible light microscope) were integrated and tested in the confocal geometry (Fig. 7a). The first 3D reconstitution of the uranium distribution in a uranium rich sediment based on confocal measurement at different depths is shown in (Fig. 7b). The microfocus setup is available for general user operation since ANKA Call 16 (Oct. 2010 – Mar. 2011) and the confocal setup is available for general user operation since call 21 (Apr. 2013 - Sep. 2013).
A major upgrade presently underway is the testing of a HRxF spectrometer using the multi analyser crystal spectrometer shown Fig. 4. This spectrometer provides wavelength dispersion of the emitted photon energies from a sample excited by incident x-rays and focuses them onto a position sensitive detector, e.g., a CCD camera. It can be used to remove lifetime broadening by registering the partial fluorescence yield emitted by the sample (i.e., recording a windowed signal from the energy-dispersed fluorescence emission while varying incident photon energy), thereby yielding highly resolved xAFS spectra, which often display resonant features not observed in conventional xAFS. The spectrometer can also be used for a wide range of other experiments, for example, resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIxS), which can be used to obtain bulk electron configuration information, valence-selective xAFS studies, where differences in local structure of an element present in mixed valence states can be studied, as well as site-selective xAFS studies, where the coordination structure of a metal bound to selected elements can be differentiated from that of all the other metal atoms.

IR1Infrared beamline for spectroscopy and ellipsometry
Spectroscopy
Scientific applications Infrared spectroscopy in general covers a huge range of scientific fields: chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, geology, environment, nanoscience, materials research, forensic science, etc. IR 1 focuses especially on the strategic fields of the Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation (e.g, condensed matter and materials research, nano technology, earth and environmental research, synchrotron technology). At the same time IR1 remains open for excellent user science from all fields of research.
As an infrared source, synchrotron radiation has five major advantages compared to conventional (black-body) laboratory sources:
• broader spectral range: continuous from far-IR to the visible • higher photon flux in the far-IR• higher brilliance: as it is almost a point source the light can be
focused down to a diffraction-limited size with a gain of up to 3 orders of magnitude in signal-to-noise
• pulsed source: the light is emitted from electron bunches, which allows fast time-resolved measurements (2 ns repetition rate, 150 ps pulse duration)
• intense coherent emission in the lower energy part of the far-IR / THz, with gain up to 105 compared to conventional synchrotron emission and with sub-ps pulse duration
Nowadays extraction of infrared radiation is part of almost all development programs in existing or planned synchrotron facilities. In parallel to the experimental applications of synchrotron infrared spectroscopy, a constant effort is in progress to investigate the fundamental properties of the radiation emitted in the IR/THz range. IR1 exploits the so-called edge radiation as the source (rather than classical synchrotron emission). Since this concept is now being adopted by other synchrotrons, ANKA’s efforts to derive an experimentally verified theoretical description are being followed with great interest by the relevant research community.
Current projects include accelerator-based IR-source development, studies of high-Tc superconducting materials, structural organization at the electrode-liquid interface and behavior of matter at extreme

The ellipsometer (supplied by MPI-FKF, Stuttgart) is coupled to an FTIR spectrometer (Bruker IFS 66v/S) covering a spectral range from 4 to 10,000 cm-1 (0.5 meV to 1.24 eV, 2.5 mm to 1 μm) with a resolution down to 0.1 cm-1. It is equipped with high-sensitivity detectors [liquid-He cooled bolometers, liquid-N2 cooled MCT (HgCdTe) and InSb detectors, and Si or Ge diodes] and appropriate beamsplitters (Mylar films, multilayer, KBr and quartz). The instruments are evacuated or N2 purged to avoid water and CO2 absorption bands. The ellipsometer operates under vacuum and is provided with an optimized bolometer detector and a liquid He cryostat.
Ellipsometry is a technique which allows one to measure the complex dielectric function ε = ε1 + i ε2 of a given material very accurately and with high reproducibility. It measures the change in polarization of light upon non-normal reflection on the surface of a sample. The ellipsometry experiment set-up is shown in Figure 3. Unlike conventional reflection techniques, ellipsometry requires no reference measurement and no extrapolation of the reflectivity towards zero and infinite energy. This makes ellipsometry measurements more accurate and more reproducible than conventional reflection measurements.

To avoid interference due to water and CO2 absorption bands, it is dry-N2 purged. Different objectives are available for transmission and reflection measurements. For sample positioning and mapping, a motorized stage with 1 μm resolution is used. Sample location and observation using fluorescence in the visible is possible. Samples can be studied in different environments (high temperature, low temperature, high pressure and fluids).
IR nanoscopy in combination with the brilliant synchrotron broadband infrared light of ANKA will allow spectroscopic imaging in the complete IR/THz spectral range of objects much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation used. The technique overcomes the diffraction limit by using the near field of a metal antenna in close proximity to the scanned sample surface. In 2007 Prof. Martina Havenith from the Ruhr University of Bochum was awarded a major BMBF research grant for the development of a near-field infrared nanoscope for imaging at sub-wavelength spatial resolution using synchrotron light at ANKA. Vertex 80v Bruker FTIR spectrometer and an Alpha300R WiTec AFM will constitute the heart of the new device.

SUL-XX-ray beamline for environmental research
Spectroscopy
Scientific applicationsEnvironmental samples are generally complex (e.g., contaminated soils, mining dump sediments), consisting of mixtures of mineral phases (amorphous, crystalline, with micrometer or nano-scale particle sizes), microbes, and in some cases organic material. Spatial distribution, speciation, and phase association of trace levels of contaminants are the basis for risk assessment and development of remediation strategies (e.g., arsenic speciation and distribution in groundwater-related sediments). The SUL-x beamline addresses these issues by providing spatial resolution in the micrometer range with a combination of micro-focused techniques (x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy: xRF; x-ray absorption spectroscopy: xAS; x-ray diffraction: xRD).
The design of SUL-x was developed on the needs of national and international user groups from the environmental science community. Together with a facility for IR microspectroscopy, it forms the major part of the federal- and state-funded ‘Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory for Environmental Studies’ (SUL) at ANKA. With the advantages of its concept of combined experimental methods, the SUL laboratory will also benefit proposals from other research fields (e.g., material science, biology, health research).
The research is assigned mainly to molecular environmental science (MES), an emerging field that involves studies of chemical and biological processes affecting speciation, properties, behavior of contaminants, pollutants, and nutrients in the ecosphere. Synchrotron based techniques are fundamental for MES. A major driving force is the need to characterize, treat, and/or dispose of vast quantities of contaminated materials, including groundwater, sediments, and soils, and to process wastes. Besides high-level nuclear waste significant contributions come from mining and industrial wastes, atmospheric pollutants, etc., all of which have major impacts on human health and welfare. Addressing these problems requires the development of new characterization and processing technologies – efforts that require information on the chemical speciation of heavy metals, radionuclides, and xenobiotic organic compounds and their reactions with environmental materials.
Available methods, obtainable parametersThe SUL-x beamline closes the spectral gap between soft and hard x-ray spectroscopy, and allows to investigate samples – without remounting them – sequentially with the following methods and modes:
xRF: x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy xAS: x-ray absorption spectroscopy (2.14 keV up to 20 keV for P K-edge
to U L-edge)xRD: x-ray diffraction with adjustable beam size
Fluorescence spectroscopy with a microfocused beam enables elemental mapping of an extended sample (e.g., thin or polished sections of a contaminated soil sample).The wide energy range allows absorption spectroscopy for elements between P and U. xAS provides essential information about the local atomic geometry (ExAFS) and of the chemical state of the absorbing atom (xANES). It can be applied equally to investigate both ordered (crystalline) and disordered (amorphous, liquid) materials. Dilute species and light elements can be measured in fluorescence mode.x-ray diffraction measurements (e.g., of powder, aggregates of crystals, or laterally resolved on sample sections in transmission) enable the identification of mineral phases and correlations with pollutants to be found.
Adjustable beam dimensions in combination with automated sample-positioning and a diffractometer allow the investigation of distribution and chemical states of elements and their associations to mineral phases down to the µm scale, essential key parameters for environmental and health risk assessment.

............................................Information
UV-CD12 is a high flux vacuum-ultraviolet/ultraviolet beamline for steady-state synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) spectroscopy. It is operated by KIT´s Institute of Biological Interfaces (IBG-2). The UV-CD12 beamline was conceived and designed by the Centre for Protein and Membrane Structure and Dynamics (CPMSD), a consortium of U.K. structural biologists. It was constructed at the SRS facility of the Daresbury Laboratory and opened for users in 2003. Following the closure of SRS in August 2008, UV-CD12 was donated to IBG-2 and ANKA in order to continue its working life. The synchrotron-based studies at UV-CD12 are integrated in IBG-2´s in-house research within the framework of the “BioInterfaces” program, thus complementing solid-state NMR and other biophysical techniques, which are well-established at IBG-2 for structural characterization of cell membrane-active peptides and proteins.
Scientific applications Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy in structural biology is used for investigations of the secondary structure of proteins and other chiral (bio)macromolecules. Typical applications include
• Determination of secondary structure of proteins that cannot be crystallized
• Investigation of the effects of the binding of ligands (e.g., drugs) on protein secondary structure
• Study of dynamic processes such as protein folding • Study of the effects of environment (e.g., pH, solvent, denaturing
agent, temperature) on protein structure • Determination of the secondary structure content of membrane
proteins • Study of enzyme active site changes• Investigation of protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid
interaction• Investigation of DNA and carbohydrate structure.
Synchrotron radiation as a VUV light source for CD spectroscopy allows for extension of the spectral range below the 190 nm limit of benchtop instruments, gives access to additional electronic transitions of the amide bond, and dramatically increases the power of the technique to distinguish protein structural motifs. The high photon flux yields excellent signal-to-noise ratio with minimal sample volumes and measuring times. Moreover, the natural linear polarization of the synchrotron beam is exploited.
Available methods, obtainable parameters CD spectroscopy: Protein structural motifs with different secondary structure have characteristic CD base spectra; deconvolution of experimental protein spectra with mixed structural features yields the fractional amounts of pure structural components (e.g., α-helix, β-strand). Precise temperature control accessories allow for flexible thermal ramping experiments (protein denaturation), and these data can be analyzed for functions such as Tm, ∆H and ∆S.
Oriented circular dichroism (OCD) spectroscopy: Fast and sensitive spectroscopic method for analyzing the secondary structure, orientation and aggregation behaviour of membrane-embedded peptides and proteins in solid samples, i.e., in model membranes (lipid bilayers) that are macroscopically aligned with respect to the light beam. SR-based OCD will allow study of the conditions where structurally relevant changes in peptide structure and orientation occur, especially for β-pleated and polyproline folds. It will contribute to our understanding of structure/function relationships of, e.g., antimicrobial peptides that lyse bacterial cell membranes (potential new antibiotics), cell-penetrating peptides that may translocate cargo through cell membranes without destroying them or hydrophobic membrane proteins that are involved in cell-signaling.
UpgradesRapid-mixing microfluidic system for time resolved spectroscopy: It is planned to equip the experimental station with a capability for simultaneous VUV-CD and FTIR measurements of protein folding and structural change kinetics using a microfluidic rapid-mixing system, thus exploiting the strong complementarity of these two techniques.

XaSX-ray absorption spectroscopy beamline
Spectroscopy
............................................Information
Scientific applicationsxAS provides essential information about the local atomic geometry and the chemical state of the absorbing atom. The method is element specific and is not restricted to the crystalline phase, but may be used with highly disordered amorphous and liquid samples. At the xAS beamline, a cooperative multidisciplinary scientific program is established to solve scientific questions in the fields of:
Nanomaterials and catalytic systems: There is intense interest in the development of materials with nano-sized dimensions with novel catalytic, energy storage, or macroscopic properties. The KIT research group focuses on H-storage materials based on Ti-clusters, external groups on catalytic systems as nanostructured traps for SOx, and on Ni-doped carbon nano tube systems for tunable magnetic properties. An objective of characterization is to determine the structure and interatomic distances, and the mean oxidation state of atoms in the nanoparticle. The efficiency of new catalytic systems is studied in-situ by tracking the changes of the chemical state of educts or products using xAS in combination with mass spectrometry.
Environmental sciences: Contamination of the environment is a consequence of industrial and domestic processes and presents a health hazard and a limitation to the productive use of land. Current research is focused on Zn release to soils, a problem even from such seemingly harmless objects as electricity pylons, and on sulfuric acidification of surface waters, which leads to mobilization of toxic metals in mining areas. xAS is an extremely important tool in identifying the nature of toxic metals causing the contamination, thus allowing remedial strategies to be devised.
XAS is an X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) beamline on a dipole magnet source. Due to the high flux the beamline is suited for highly diluted systems in bulk samples.
Available methods, obtainable parametersx-ray absorption near edge structure (xANES): valence and coordination geometry.
Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (ExAFS): interatomic distances to 0.02 Å resolution (up to 5-6 Å); coordination numbers, type of nearest neighbors.
There are two principal modes of detection: transmission and fluorescence measurements. The transmission technique uses ionization chambers (Figures 1a,b) and the detection limit is determined by the element of interest and the other elements comprising the sample. Typical values are ~5 % by weight. The fluorescence mode is applicable for the study of elements at lower concentrations (detection limit: ~1 mmol/L) and for “thick” samples where transmission. The fluorescence radiation emitted by the sample as a function of photon energy is recorded using an energy dispersive detector (Figures 3 and 4). Additional to standard ExAFS, the xAS beamline offers grazing incident xAFS (GI-xAFS) and q-xAFS. At the ANKA xAS beamline, a q-xAFS mode on a double crystal fixed exit monochromator (DCM-fe) has been implemented. Due to the combined movement of the Bragg axis and the two linear drives, the stability of the beam height on the sample position is maintained within much less than 10 µm. Combined with the xIA-xMAP electronics and the Struck counter card, a hardware triggered q-xAFS mode is implemented, which offers q-xAFS down to 45 s in fluorescence detection mode. Even in this very fast mode, it is be possible to read out the complete fluorescence spectrum for each incoming photon energy. This enables a multi-peak fitting of the fluorescence spectra throughout the spectrum and, thus, a higher precision of the resulting data, at a data rate of up to 8 Gb/day. The accuracy of the DCM and the high precision of the angular encoder allow both energy directions to be used, thereby reducing the delay between the scans.

Instrumental Characteristics The xAS beamline spans the energy range from 2.4 to 27 keV. This covers the K-edges from S to Cd, and up to the L-edge of U. The double crystal monochromator design allows exchanging the two parallel mounted Si(111) and Si(311) crystal pairs within minutes.
Sample Environment A multi sample holder with 12 positions (transmission and fluorescence measurements possible) offers advanced automation options. The sample wheel can be adjusted in both directions perpendicular to the beam. For grazing-incidence measurements, a Huber goniometer with two additional slits can be used.

MPIBeamline for structural characterization of materials
............................................Information
A beamline for the structural characterization of materials owned and operated by a consortium of Max-Planck Institutes.
Scientific applicationsThe beamline is best suited for the structural in-situ characterizationof materials in reduced dimensions, like surfaces, interfaces, thin films, multilayers and nano-crystalline compound materials. In the future there will be an increased need to study such systems under industrially and environmentally relevant conditions, such as high temperature/pressure, external mechanical forces, aggressive gas atmospheres or high electric or magnetic fields and low temperatures [1].
the main research activities carried out at the beamline are:
1) Structure of rare earth transition-metal oxide single crystals, thin films and multilayers. 2) In-situ stress measurements and fault structures in metallic alloy thin films. 3) In-situ reactive changes of the surface structure and morphology of intermetallic phases. 4) In-situ growth of metallic alloy films. 5) Oxidation of metallic alloys. 6) In-situ studies of semiconductor nanostructures.
Available methods, obtainable parameters,physical properties
types of experiments that can be performed:
Crystal truncation rod measurements to study the atomic structure of surfaces and buried interfaces
Experiments under grazing incidence to obtain nm scale depth resolved structural and chemical information
Specular and off-specular reflectivity measurements providing the sample electron density profile normal to the surface and the surface and interface roughness profiles
Resonant scattering measurements to characterize collective electronic phenomena
In-situ diffraction experiments at high temperatures and under gas atmospheres using heavy sample environments
Time resolved experiments to study growth kinetics and interface evolution under controlled conditions.

Instrumental characteristics The beamline can either be operated in monochromatic, pink or white beam mode. The key parameters of the beamline are summarized in the table at the end of this section. Figure 1 shows a drawing of the beamline optics. The main optical elements are a Rh coated Si mirror and the double crystal monochromator (DCM). The DCM consists of a flat Si(111) single crystal and a sagittal Si(111) crystal bender for horizontal focusing. The mirror allows to cut the energy spectrum of the incident photons at its higher end to suppress the harmonic content in the monochromatic beam. In addition it is used to focus the beam in the vertical direction.
Two pairs of horizontal and vertical slits allow to pre-select the beam size on the sample. The heart of the experimental end station is a 2+3 diffractometer that can be operated either in horizontal or vertical sample normal mode (Figure 2). The sample stage has 4 degrees of freedom in the vertical configuration and 5 degrees of freedom in the horizontal configuration. The vertical axis sample rotation stage can support a weight up to 300 kg. The detector arm has in addition two degrees of freedom combined with the possibility of slit rotation on top of the detector arm. All rotations provide an angular resolution of 0.00025°. The detector arm itself is designed to support two detectors simultaneously. The whole instrument is aligned in the incident x-ray beam using a jackable table (colored blue in Figure 2). Two motorized horizontal and vertical slits are mounted on the detector arm. In front of the instrument another pair of slits define [2] the incident beam size. Behind the incident slits an ionization chamber is installed to monitor the photon flux. Figure 3 shows an in-situ oxidation chamber, as mounted on the diffractometer; the growth of oxide islands can be monitored in situ by a 2D and a point detector simultaneously. In the experimental hutch a crane is installed that is used to handle heavier sample environments. A small Eulerian cradle can be mounted to run the instrument as a vertical four circle diffractometer.

Upgrades of the beamline Several upgrades for the beamline have been performed, concerning its performance and the flux available at the sample position. 1) Software upgrade: the old RST system was removed and all beamline components can be controlled via SPEC. The more reliable alignment resulted in an increase of the photon flux at the sample by a factor of two, without any change on the hardware. 2) A 2nd fluorescent screen was installed on the beamline: in order to do a faster alignment of the beamline, it is necessary to be able to monitor the beam position after the mirror. 3) A beam polarization monitor was installed in the white beam after the first pair of slits and commissioned. It is needed to guarantee fully linear polarization of the incident beam, which is essential for the xMCD experiments and diffraction experiments. 4) A fast shutter/pin diode system for detector protection and direct beam alignment was installed. 5) The lengths of the experimental hutch was extended by 3 m. This allows the future installation of a fast 4-circle diffractometer. Its center of rotation (COR) is set about 10 m from the DCM, thus allowing for a focused beam at energies up to 16 keV.
Figure 3. In-situ oxidation chamber mounted on the diffractometer; a simultaneous detection using a 2D and a point detector is possible.
Planned upgrades• Installation of a fast 4-circle diffractometer allowing a focused beam
up to 16 keV.• Upgrade of the vacuum and shutter control system to PVSS• Replacement of all motor power supplies and controllers to ANKA’s standard Middex controllers.• The detector arm will be modified to eliminate possible collisions• Installation of a small closed cycle refrigerator for the small Huber Eulerian cradle• Installation of an in-vacuum 16 fold absorber system• Installation of a motorized vacuum beamtube and collimator
system for the incident beam to reduce background from air scattering
• Installation of a dedicated lever-type slit system with flight tube for area detectors.

Scientific applications x-ray diffraction probes the spatial arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice. It is sensitive not only to chemical composition and lattice parameters, but also to the strain and the strain distribution, lattice defects and dislocations as well as to the shape and size distribution of nanostructures. Since the advent of synchrotron radiation, the range of applications has been extended from bulk crystals to thin films and multilayers, epitaxial superlattices, nanostructures, nano-crystalline materials and even to magnetic structures and multilayers.The NANO instrumentation was specified to allow in-situ characterization using synchrotron radiation. One of our focus
NaNO High Resolution X-ray Diffraction and Surface & Interface Scattering Beamline

is to investigate the changes in structural parameters such as lattice parameters, chemical composition, layer thickness, surface and interface roughness, inter-diffusion, crystal lattice quality/homogeneity, strain distribution, nanostructure geometry (size/shape/correlations) during the growth process of individual monolayers as function of temperature, deposition time, pressure and flow-rate of material. The achievement of the beamline is to realize time resolved x-ray diffraction and surface scattering measurements during growth and deposition processes, which offers novel opportunities for internal and external users.
Current status of the instrumental development at the beamline During 2012, a continuous methodical implementation was carried out at the beamline. This included testing of the different functionalities of the beamline to make them reliably used for the dedicated applications. For that purpose, selected experiments such as in-situ MBE investigations and local resolved investigations of defects using microfocus beam have been performed at the experimental station NANO1 to evaluate the reliability of the set-up. The methods dedicated at the beamline like symmetric, asymmetric and grazing incidence diffraction with high resolution in reciprocal space have been implemented by measuring AlGaN samples grown on sapphire substrate, provided by the Institute of Optoelectronics in Ulm.The optics of the beamline offer the possibilities to work in three modes-monochromatic, pink and white beam, corresponding to an energy resolution varying between 10-4 and 10-2.The pink mode (energy resolution of 10-3) was brought to operation at the beamline for the commissioning of the x-ray transmission microscopy at the experimentation station NANO2, which is functional. For that purpose, a double multilayer based on NiB4C has been commissioned taking advantage of the wide band width for higher flux in the 1012 ph/s/100 mA range. The concept of the beamline to operate the two experimental stations NANO1 and NANO2 alternatively is illustrated in Scenario 1 and 2.
Current status of the opticsThe beamline was operational using the super-conducting undulator SCU14 source until June 2012. The 1 T Wiggler replaced the undulator source in September 2012. The layout of the Nano beamline is composed of 4 mirrors and two monochromators.The performance of the beamline has been evaluated. The beam profile has been measured at profile monitor PM2 and compared to the simulated profile. In addition, the flux spectrum was measured with a calibrated photodiode at the sample position in the case of the focused beam. The simulation of the photon flux at the sample with the undulator source was performed with the xtrace program [1]. The good agreement between the measured and the simulated spectra indicates the beamline optics is well aligned and is

NANO is operational since September 2012, using a permanent 1T wiggler on loan from Daresbury. The beamline has two operational stations (NANO1 and NANO2) in implementation and testing phase. NANO1 is mostly devoted to the investigation of thin film structure and nanostructure using high resolution X-ray diffraction and X-ray diffuse scattering methods, while NANO2 is dedicated to the application full-field Transmission X-ray microscopy in a material science at room temperature and in the biological field in the cryo-environment.

The microscope has been specified as full-field transmission hard x-ray transmission with 30 nm 2D resolution, with the possibility to perform Near Edge Spectroscopy (xANES) for chemical imaging. Scanning x-ray fluorescence mapping with 2 µm spatial resolution is aimed to be achieved. The TxM has special features due to the possibility of cryogenic handling in addition to the automatic loading and unloading of sample. The TxM is well-suited for material science applications as well as for biomedical and biological applications.

With the installation of the focusing mirror it is now possible to focus the x-ray beam both horizontally and vertically between energies of 6 and 21keV. The mirror consists of a sagitally fixed cylinder which can be bent meridionally to allow variation of the effective vertical beam size at the sample position. Since the bending radius can be varied it is possible to optimize the vertical focus for either the forward of rear experimental station. The horizontal focus is optimized for the front experimental station, which results in a horizontal beam size of approx. 500μm fwhm at this point, and around 2mm horizontal size at the rear station.

Instrumental parameters and equipment, infrastructure The PDIFF beamline provides vertically and horizontally focused radiation between approx. 6 and 20 keV for scattering (diffraction) experiments requiring high energy resolution and high angular resolution. The principle optical setup of the beamline consists of a vertically and horizontally focusing mirror and a fixed-exit double crystal monochromator [Si(III)].
the experimental facilities consist of two independent diffractometers each optimized for specific types of experiments:
Station 1: A heavy-duty 3-circle powder diffractometer capable of carrying multiple detector systems and sample loads up to approx.80 kg, designed for in-situ characterization of nanocrystalline andmicrocrystalline materials under non-ambient conditions. This diffractometer is equipped with 2 main detectors: a 165 mm diameter 2D CCD camera and a 90° 1D detector for simultaneous registration of x-ray scattering over a large 2Theta range.
Station 2: A 4-circle Kappa diffractometer carrying up to approx. 5 kg loads and equipped with either analyzer or Soller collimator optics for high angular resolution studies. This instrument can also optionally carry the CCD or 1D linear detectors.
A number of sample environments are available for heating and cooling of samples in both reflection and transmission geometry (up to around 1000°C in oxygen atmospheres). A tensile/compression stage (2kN) is also available for in-situ mechanical deformation studies.

Single crystal diffraction (SCD): Yields electron density maps and atomic coordinates within the asymmetric unit of the unit cell of a single crystal.
Single / multiple anomalous dispersion (SAD/MAD) to determine the scattering phases from the anomalous signals of heavy atoms in vicinity of absorption edges.
Wide angle x-Ray scattering (WAxS) to derive pair distribution functions of soft condensed matter. WAxS, particularly suited for the investigation of structural properties of polymers, provides information about the order within the crystalline regions of a sample and about the fraction of crystalline material.
Reciprocal space mapping, x-Ray reflectometry, grazing incidence diffraction, grazing incidence small angle scattering and similar methods for the study of surface and interface structure are currently under commissioning using the 6-circle diffractometer.
Scientific applications The SCD beamline allows structure determination of large crystallized molecules with lattice parameters up to approximately 20 nm. The high incoming photon flux and low beam divergence allows for taking data from small or weakly diffracting crystals or with higher resolution. Sample sizes typically range between (0.1 mm)³ and (0.5 mm)³, but structures have been derived from crystals as small as 20 µm x 20 µm x 250 µm. The versatile scattering geometry of a six-circle diffractometer facilitates ex-situ diffraction studies of surfaces and interfaces. Crystal structure determination: Knowledge of the structure is a key to understanding the properties of nanoscaled materials, such as artificial self-assembling porphyrins, semiconductor cluster crystals, or high-nuclearity transition-metal aggregates. The synthesis and structure investigation of self-assembling porphyrins mimicking chlorosomal bacteriochlorophylls (see Figure 1 for just one example) is a potential major design step towards artificial antennae capable of harvesting sunlight.
For semiconductor cluster crystals, the detailed knowledge of the cluster structure allows in connection with other physical measurements for the establishment of correlations of structure and properties. High-nuclearity transition-metal aggregates may have magnetic properties intermediate between those of small finite aggregates and extended solids. Magnetic interactions can depend critically on metal-ligand bond lengths and angles within the bridges between the metal centers. By determining such geometries to a good level of precision the structure and magnetic behaviour can be correlated.Making use of the instrument capability to measure Bragg reflections with high redundancy, it has been demonstrated at ANKA-SCD that the anomalous signal of sulfur in cubic Insulin is sufficient to determine scattering phases and derive the electron density map with SAD at an incoming wavelength as short as 0.1 nm.
Semiconductor surfaces and interfaces: Surface and interface properties of structured semiconductors play a crucial role in applications such as blue laser diodes. Lattice relaxation at interfaces can be studied by Reciprocal Space Mapping. Grazing Incidence Diffraction and Grazing Incidence Small Angle Scattering have been used to investigate nanostructured surfaces and quantum dots on semiconductor surfaces and nanostructured surfaces.

IMaGE/XMICin commissioning
............................................Information
The twin beamlines IMAGE/XMIC are being constructed in the western straight-section of the ANKA storage ring (Figure 1)The photon source will be a combined superconducting undulator/wiggler, which is currently under development. With this new source, IMAGE/XMIC will cover two energy ranges (in the undulator mode from 4 keV to 20 keV and in the wiggler mode up to 100 keV) and offer X-ray imaging methods tailored to the performance parameters of the ANKA radiation source.
The IMAGE/xMIC beamline will give the possibility to perform experiments simultaneously in two different experimental stations. Three experimental stations will be established for two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging methods in the hard x-ray range using absorption, phase, and Bragg/Laue diffraction contrast:
Station 1 is a full-field transmission x-ray microscope for hard x-rays, located in the first experimental hutch.
Station 2 for fast white-beam computed tomography/laminography, including coherent imaging by in-line holography, grating interferometry, and 3D micro-diffraction imaging methods, located in the second experimental hutch.
Station 3 will be a hard x-ray microscope dedicated for non-destructive testing based on different types of deep x-ray lithographical lenses with resolution down to 20 nm.
The concept of the twin beamline is shown in Figure 2 and it includes a crystal monochromator, which will be used to horizontally split the beam into two parts. Half of the beam will be reflected by the crystal monochromator and laterally shifted by 800 mm, then forming the so-called side branch (xMIC), while the second half of the beam will propagate past the monochromator uninfluenced, being the main branch (IMAGE) of the beamline. In the main branch, the beamline optics are designed for a versatile operation with a double-multilayer monochromator (DMM) for projection imaging and microscopy applications, and a double-crystal monochromator (DCM) allowing full-field microdiffraction imaging and diffraction-enhanced imaging. Partially coherent x-rays will be available by reducing the source size in white-beam mode through slits in the Front-End. The side branch will operate in monochromatic mode exclusively, offering focusing capabilities.
The hard x-ray microscopy setup dedicated for biological samples will be placed in the Experimental Station 1. Currently, it is installed and operational at the NANO beamline (Figure 3). The full-field transmission microscope is specified for an energy range from 2 keV to 12 keV, based on capillary condensers and high resolution zone plates with a spatial resolution of 30 nm. 2D radiography and 3D tomography are possible in absorption contrast as well as Zernike phase contrast. An x-ray fluorescence detector adds the possibility of mapping elemental compositions within the sample. The high penetration depth of hard x-rays allows for imaging of samples up to several tens of µm thickness. The microscope is equipped with a cryogenic sample environment for vitrified samples in order to enable imaging of biological samples as close to their natural state as possible. Furthermore, the cryogenic sample environment contributes to minimizing radiation damage. First experiments have been successfully conducted.As one of the two experimental stations which will be located in experimental hutch 2 of the IMAGE beamline, the UFO-CODE station is currently in the specification stage. It will cover a variety of scan geometries, contrast mechanisms, and a wide range of temporal resolutions in a single setup for highest flexibility, enabling the

The optics in the main branch have been designed to deliver either white beam, high-intensity pink beam (with the double-multilayer monochromator) or highly monochromatic beam (with a double-crystal monochromator) for different applications.
Figure 1: Schematic drawing of the IMAGE beamline and the northwest hall extension. The first experimental hutch will host the full-field transmission X-ray microscopy station. The second experimental hutch will host a multi-purpose imaging station for fast tomography, laminography and diffraction imaging, and a hard X-ray microscope dedicated for non-destructive testing based on different types of deep X-ray lithographical lenses.

full potential of the beamline to be exploited. Besides radiography, both tomographic and laminographic scan geometries will be used for 3D imaging, each mode with the possibility to be operated with various contrast modalities. Using white-beam combined with a flexible transmission detector system optimized for high frame rates, these methods will aim for high speed applications, e.g. enabling tomographic imaging in the sub-second regime. High sample throughput will be enabled by an automatic sample exchange system. Monochromatized x-rays delivered by either the DMM or the DCM will allow for high contrast and high resolution down to the sub-micron range. In addition to absorption contrast, propagation based phase contrast and grating interferometry will give access to complementary sample properties. In addition to transmission based methods, the UFO-CODE station will implement an operation mode dedicated for diffraction imaging experiments like rocking curve imaging or diffraction tomography. This will be supported by a
dedicated detector system providing flexible detector positioning in the whole hemisphere above the sample, allowing diffracted x-rays far off the primary beam direction to be caught.The other experimental station at the IMAGE/xMIC beamline will be dedicated to the hard x-ray Microscopy and quality Assurance of the optical components, so-called MiqA station. The MiqA is designed to operate in the wide x-ray energy range of 10 keV to 60 keV, ,implementing complementary imaging contrasts in the resolution range of 500 µm up to 40 nm. Furthermore, the MiqA station will serve in characterization and thus in development of the optical components, for example lenses and mirrors with the focus on optical components produced by deep x-ray lithography. To be built as part of Karlsruhe Nano and Micro Facility (KNMF), MiqA station will be completed by an access to KNMF laboratory infrastructure for method-specific lenses fabrication and sample preparation.
The conceptual design of the beamline has been completed. The infrastructures, including the radiation security hutches, the control rooms and the laboratories will be built up (Figure 4) during the 2013 summer shutdown. The Front-

Instrumental characteristicsThree main experimental stations will be implemented for microscopy, diffraction imaging and tomography/laminography.
As 2D detectors, CCD-based detector systems with different, interchangeable optics systems (to provide different spatial resolutions / pixel sizes) will be used. CMOS and frame-transfer CCDs suited for fast real-time imaging at the new beamline are already under extensive commissioning at ANKA today. The FReLoN 2K14 CCD detector, already in use at ANKA, offers a unique combination of fast readout and high dynamic range which ideally matches the requirements of both real-time and slower, high-sensitivity studies.
Moreover, new detector concepts could be applied to improve measurement speed: hybrid pixel arrays, for example based on GaAs or CdTe sensor layers, have high quantum efficiency and allow energy discrimination in white-beam mode.A double-multilayer monochromator will provide selectable energy in a range between 3 and 40 keV. An additional double-crystal monochromator will be used to obtain a reduced energy window and to access higher x-ray energies up to 65 keV (compatible with the superconducting undulator/wiggler).
To attain spatial resolutions on the sub-μm scale, an ultra-precise sample manipulator with precise sample positioning during a scan is required. Laminography needs an adjustable tomographic rotation axis for imaging of flat, laterally extended objects. An automatic sample changer system allows one to prepare a series of samples which can be scanned unattendedly, maximising sample through put.
Since phase-contrast imaging is a major point of interest, the beamline optical devices and windows are subjected to stringent requirements concerning surface properties (e.g. flatness) and bulk properties (e.g., lack of inclusions and residual porosity). A polished CVD diamond window close to the experiment is the only interfering element in the beamline (differentially pumped vacuum tube). The coherence conditions can be improved by aperture slits in the front end.

Microtomography and microradiography allows, in a non-destructive manner, to image the internal structure of an object. Microtomography using synchrotron light sources delivers three-dimensional (3D) images of the object with high resolutions down to the submicrometer range, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and additional contrast modes like phase contrast and holotomography. Typical applications for microtomography and microradiography are:
• detection of voids and pores in industrial components;• imaging tissue and other soft materials in biological and life
science;• pore formation in metal foams, evolution of particle coarsening
in materials science;• crack propagation;• characterization of fibre structures, porous media, particle
agglomerations by microtomography and a subsequent 3D• image analysis;• diffusion processes in woven materials.

tOPO-tOMO X-ray topography and tomography beamline
Scientific applications The TOPO-TOMO beamline, designed and constructed with the support of the Crystallographic Institute of the University of Freiburg, provides optimal conditions for white-beam Laue topography. A large distance of 30 m between the x-ray source and the sample position as well as the possibility to reduce the effective source size by a pair of slits near the source ensure good transverse coherence, i.e., high angular resolution.
Synchrotron x-ray topography delivers a detailed map of the distribution/structure of lattice defects and strains in crystalline samples (dislocations, micropipes, stacking faults), for example in new materials or microelectronic components. Laue x-ray topography provides:
• large area sample mapping giving a full image of strain/defect topography of the sample;
• cross-sectional slice images through the sample (in a manner analogous to TEM);
• 3D directionality of crystal defects;• fine lateral resolution (<1 µm) over large areas.

White beam X-ray topography: Detailed information on defect distributions in crystals can be provided by synchrotron x-ray topography in which an intense, highly collimated beam of x-rays is directed onto a crystalline sample in Laue or Bragg configuration. This non-destructive analysis technique is mainly used for the study of dislocations, planar defects, stacking faults, growth defects or large precipitates (compare Figure 2). Also very small local defects like nm-scale voids in Si can be imaged as well as long range strain in electronic devices.
Phase contrast imaging with a grating interferometer (Figure 3) provides determination of the refractive index distribution within a sample even for materials with similar refractive indices. The TOPO-TOMO white-beam station enables high phase sensitivity and spatial resolution of about 5 μm together with a short exposure time below 1 s. By combining a grating interferometer with computed tomography, the refractive index distribution can be acquired in a 3D volume.
Available methods, obtainable parameters, physical propertiesHigh-resolution and phase contrast radiography are used to investigate micro-structured, multi-component material systems, e.g., to detect delaminations between substrates and glob tops encapsulating wire-bonded devices. Radiographs taken from different projection angles allow to obtain 3D information with a spatial resolution down to the sub-micrometer range by means of computed microtomography (compare Figure 4 and 5). The subsequent application of 3D image analysis methods can be used for the determination of size distributions, orientations or spatial correlations within the tomographic multi-constituent volume images.

Scattering and Imaging
Instrumental Characteristics Good coherence conditions and low background are realized by aperture slits in the front end, 25 m away from the sample. A polished Be-window close to the experiment is the only x-ray optical element in the beamline. A set of in-vacuum filters on two independent sliders can be used to change the spectral distribution of the white beam. A Double-Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) with two independent stripes - Si/W and Si/P4B on Si substrate - is installed. With monochromatic radiation, quantitative absorption and phase contrast imaging can be exploited, being sensitive to material and atomic numbers and to the local electron density.
Two motorized tables are installed in the beamline, each one dedicated to a specific class of experiments, so that switching between experimental geometries can be done by simple exchange of the optical tables, which minimizes the required time for set up.
The TOPO table is dedicated for experiments with white-beam topography and grating interferometry. Equipped with a positioning tower from miCos, it allows mapping of large Si wafers with a diameter of 450 mm by white-beam topography. Furthermore, due to high resolution x-ray slits, a large beam up to a horizontal dimension of 80 mm is available, which is especiall suitable for section topography.
The TOMO table (Figure 6), a fast white-beam tomographic imaging station, allows tomographic scans based on radiographic projection images with spatial resolution up to 2.5 µm (“microscope”) or large field of view (5 mm x 15 mm, limited by the beam size) and moderate spatial resolution in the order of 10 µm (“macroscope”). The setup is equipped with a robot for fast sample exchange eliminating the necessity of entering the experimental hutch for switching between samples (compare Figure 6).
The detectors are an essential part for high resolution x-ray imaging. Therefore, the detector pool at TOPO-TOMO has been upgraded to provide a variety of detector systems suitable for different applications. Detector optics are available both for white and monochromatic beam, ranging from total magnification of 1x to 50x. Depending on the experimental requirements, the detector can be chosen for high sensitivity (0.7 FPS, 5000 gray levels, 9 µm pixel size) or high speed (5400 FPS, 700 gray levels, 20 µm pixel size).

Micro-Fabrication
Scientific applications In x-ray lithography an x-ray mask is copied into an x-ray sensitive resist by synchrotron radiation via shadow printing. The resist thicknesses range from 5 µm up to several millimeters thick layers. x-rays from a synchrotron radiation source are used primarily to penetrate those thick layers, while keeping the top to bottom dose-ratio in a specific range, and due to their high parallelism, allowing the fabrication of very high vertical microstructures with a side wall roughness in the optical range ( ≤ 20 nm).
The x-ray mask consists of an x-ray transparent membrane, such as a 2.5 µm thick titanium membrane or a 500 µm thick beryllium sheet, and gold absorber structures to stop incoming x-rays. The contrast of the mask and therefore the thickness of the gold absorbers has to be sufficient to reduce the top dose in the resist below the minimal deve-loping dose underneath the gold absorber structures and to reduce the dose from secondary electrons produced at the boundary layer in the substrate, by x-rays penetrating the gold absorber structures and absorbed in the metallic substrate. Otherwise sidewall attacks by the chemical developer and insufficient adhesion of freestanding resist structures occur.
The combination of e-beam writing and x-ray mask making with synchrotron radiation allows the fabrication of structure details as small as 200 nm in 200 µm resist layers. Those structure details are not achievable by any other x-ray mask making method (e.g., laser writing and UV-lithography).
LIGa I, II, III X-ray lithography beamlines
Available methods, obtainable parameters, physical propertiesAligned exposures for pre-structured substrates are available and used on a routine basis. Moveable micro structures are fabricated using the sacrificial layer technique, where a pre-structured titanium interface on the substrate is selectively etched against the metallic microstructure. Structures with different level heights are processed by using micro milled and drilled substrates. At LIGA II an external alignment system is available, while an internal alignment system is installed at LIGA I. In both cases, the pre-structured substrates are aligned relative to the x-ray mask via a microscope and pattern recognition hard- and software for fast and accurate alignment. An instrumental accuracy of 0.5 µm has been measured.

Instrumental characteristics Three beamlines are installed and equipped with state-of-the-art x-ray scanners, fabricated by JenOptik in collaboration with IMT/KIT.
Each beamline is dedicated to a specific task:
• High resolution X-ray, • Mask fabrication, • Deep X-ray lithography and ultra deep X-ray lithography.
The white spectrum from ANKA dipole magnets is tailored to the energy range of interest (LIGA I, LIGA II) using grazing incidence mirrors as low energy pass-filters and low-Z filter foils, mounted in a filter chamber, as high energy pass-filters (Figure 6). LIGA III uses the white beam tailored only by the needed windows and filters.
A homogeneous synchrotron radiation fan of 108 mm width is
available at all scanner locations. Exposures are performed under a 100 mbar He atmosphere. The high precision x-ray scanners move the mask/resist-package with a speed of up to 50 mm/sec vertically through the synchrotron radiation beam to achieve a homogenous exposure field across the microstructure design window on the x-ray mask. An additional tilting device mounted on top of the vertical stage allows the fabrication of inclined microstructures. A tilting of up to 60° with accuracy of 0.05° is available. The combinations of inclined and vertical microstructures are realized by multiple irradiation inserting mechanically fabricated apertures in front of the x-ray mask. These apertures are adapted to the design of the microstructures and allow the irradiation of special areas of the x-ray mask. A repeatable overlay accuracy of apertures and x-ray masks of 30 µm have been measured.
Figure 6: Available spectral distributions at different X-ray lithography beamlines at the mask plane. While LIGA III uses the white synchrotron radiation spectrum of a dipole magnet, LIGA I and LIGA II use grazing incidence mirrors as low energy pass filter. Due to the high energy cut-off, X-ray masks with thinner gold absorbers and therefore higher accuracy can be used, leading to very precise microstructure products.
