Manipulator or Sample stage
Manipulator
DescriptionThe sample manipulator has five degree of freedom (xyz translations, polar and azimuthal rotational axes). It is based on a open-cycle helium cryostat (ARS LT-3M), is fully motorized (by stepper motors for the polar rotation and xyz translations and by the piezo motor for the azimuthal rotation), and it can be remotely controlled.
The temperature can be measured by a calibrated C-type thermocouple and by a standard silicon diode (DT-470) installed next to the sample and on the cold finger, respectively. The head of the cryostat includes also a cartridge heater allowing a remote control of the temperature in the range 5-400 K.

Sample Environment
Exp-chamber
DescriptionThe Experimental or Analysis chamber is in mu-metal and houses the electron energy analyzer, a SPECS Phoibos 150 with a 2D-CCD detector system, a high-intensity VUV source (He, Omicron HIS 13), a conventional X-ray source (Al & Mg, PSP TX400), a low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) optics (Omicron SpectaLEED), a home-made gas-cell, and a residual gas analyzer (SRS RGA200). It is connected through a valve to the UHV Preparation chamber.
Pressure (min)2 * 10-11 [mbar]
Pressure (Max)1 * 10-7 [mbar]
Temperature10 - 400 [K]

Fast-entry lock
DescriptionIn the fast-entry chamber up to two samples per time can be loaded from air and in about 60 minutes can reach a pressure of about 10^-6 mbar. It is connected through a valve to the UHV Heater chamber.
Pressure (min)2 * 10-7 [mbar]
Pressure (Max)1 * 103 [mbar]

Heater chamber
DescriptionThe Heater chamber houses an electron bombardment heater stage for high-temperature (up to about 2400 K) annealing of the sample and a 7-slot sample flag parking device. It has also several free flanges to mount the needed tools for the required sample preparation (cleavage, scraping, gas treatment, quartz microbalance...) and for UHV in-situ growth of thin films. It is connected through valves to the fast-entry lock and the UHV Preparation chamber.
Pressure (min)3 * 10-10 [mbar]
Pressure (Max)1 * 10-6 [mbar]
Temperature300 - 2400 [K]

Prep-chamber
DescriptionThe Preparation chamber houses the five degree of freedom liquid-He cryostat manipulator and it is normally equipped with an ion sputter gun (Varian), a quartz microbalance, and a silver evaporator. It has also several free flanges to mount the needed tools for the required sample preparation (cleavage, gas treatment...) and for UHV in-situ growth of thin films. It is connected through valves to the UHV Heater and Analysis chambers.
Pressure (min)3 * 10-11 [bar]
Pressure (Max)1 * 10-6 [bar]
Temperature10 - 400 [K]

Sample Holders
Flag sample holder
Typeheating / cooling devices
DescriptionHome-made sample flag compatible with Omicron- and Specs-like flag sample holders. The Omicron- and Specs-like flag sample holders can be used with a suitable adapter.
