Area of Research
The measuring techniques cover XANES in total electron yield and total X-ray
fluorescence yield modes, PSD, XPS, and AES. The end station is intended for
studying condensed phase photochemistry and electronic structures of new
materials. The research areas include state-selective desorption dynamics of
molecular adsorbates on surface following core-level excitation, relaxation
dynamics of core-excited molecules, synchrotron radiation induced surface
photochemistry, and electronic structure of high-Tc superconductors and
magnetic materials.
