4-ID-C
 

 

Beamline 4-ID-C is operated by the Magnetic Materials Group in the X-ray Science Division (XSD) of the Advanced Photon Source.

Research on this beamline focuses on the study of magnetic properties of interfaces and dilute systems using x-ray spectroscopy techniques at energies between 400 to 2800 eV.  A brief description of the beamline and its instruments may be found on the Instrumentation page. More detailed information is contained in the beamline manual. To view the current status of the beamline go here.
