The Magnetic Material Group (MMG) is part of the X-ray Science Division (XSD) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). Our research focuses on the study of magnetic, electronic, and structural properties of condensed matter systems using x-ray scattering and spectroscopy techniques. The group currently operates 4 beamlines at APS sectors 4, 6 and 29. |
Beamlines |
4-ID-D: Hard X-ray Magnetic Spectroscopy Beamline 4-ID-D operates at hard x-ray energies (2.75 - 40 keV), and provides polarized x-rays using phase retarding optics. It is used for magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and magnetic scattering experiments, including at extreme pressure conditions. 6-ID-B,C: Resonant and In-Field Scattering Beamline 6-ID-B,C operates in the 4-35 keV energy range. Station B station houses a general purpose psi-diffractometer for resonant scattering. Station C is dedicated to scattering experiments in high magnetic fields. 6-ID-D: High Energy Scattering Beamline 6-ID-D is the high-energy( 50 - 130 keV) scattering station on 6-ID. This beamline uses a superconducting undulator as its x-ray source. This station is used primarily for materials characterization using area detectors. 29-ID: Intermediate Energy RSXS & ARPES Beamline 29-ID is an intermediate energy (200 -2000 eV) beamline designed for Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering (RSXS) and Angle Resolved Photoemission (ARPES) measurements. This beamline was recently commissioned and is accepting general users. |
All MMG beamlines offer time to outside users through the APS proposal system. If you are interesed in performing an experiment, please feel free to contact one or our staff. |
