Our research is mainly carried out at the electron storage ring ASTRID in Aarhus. We have built up the beamline SGM-3 which takes its light from ASTRID's undulator. The experimental station is equipped with two spectrometers for angle-resolved photoemission (VG ARUPS 10 and Specs Phoibos 150). One is mounted on a motorized goniomter inside the chamber and a second one is fixed on the chamber. The set-up is also equipped with a preparation chamber and it offers the possibility to cryo-cool the sample.
The figure shows the surface state dispersion of Au(111) measured with the Specs Phoibos analyzer. In combination with the SGM-3 beamline, this analyzer permits measurements with excellent energy resolution (< 10 meV) and angular resolution (< 0.15 deg).
Electronic transport properties are investigated by micro four-point probes (or actually 12 point probes) in ultra high vacuum. The figure shows such a probe. The spacing between the innermost contacts is only 500 nm. The probes have been developed in collaboration with Nanotech at DTU and Capres A/S.
The structure of solid surfaces is investigated using a CCD-based, high precision, wide range LEED system built up by Anders Mikkelsen and David Adams.
