Endstations

The sample temperature is read by a type C thermocouple (W5%Re/W26%Re), which is mounted close to the sample, or with an optical pyrometer. The type C thermocouple calibration parameters can be found here.

Important note on samples

It is very important is to keep in mind that not all samples are suitable for XPEEM experiments and special requirements have to be fulfilled. Samples must be conductive and resistant to radiation damage. It is essential that they are free from field emitters and tips. The sample geometry must also satisfy basic requirements. Lithographically patterned samples have to be carefully designed.
