Nanospectroscopy and its users
The SPELEEM attracts a heterogeneous group of researchers working in different scientific fields. During 2002-2018, more than 741 proposals requesting Nanospectroscopy as first or second choice were submitted to the Elettra Proposal Review Panel for evaluation. During the same time, more than 233 proposals have been approved and carried out, and their results published in peer review international scientific journals. We invite new and old users to browse through our publication list.

Highlights
Research takes place in fields such as surface physics and chemistry, magnetism, materials science and nanotechnology, exploiting the high surface, chemical and electronic structure sensitivity of core level and valence band XPEEM. Our highlights section proposes applications examples which illustrate the capability of our microscope. Amongst them, you'll find studies on graphene, thin-metal films and oxides, self-organization processes and magnetic imaging.

Applications
The SPELEEM performs the most demanded x-ray spectroscopies in a laterally-resolved manner, giving access to the chemical state, electronic structure and magnetic order of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. Along with spectroscopic imaging with resolution of few tens of nanometers, the microscope can carry out microprobe-diffraction (ARPES and LEED), and microprobe-spectroscopy (XPS), enabling a unique multi-technique approach to the study of materials.
