It’s all about stability: research in the accelerator division at MAX IV

The Accelerator Development group at MAX IV is constantly researching and testing solutions to improve the quality and stability of the electron beam. A new article published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams builds upon years of research and previous publications and provides new insights on the impact of an effect called ‘transient beam loading’

An innovative mirror unit for soft X-ray beamlines at MAX IV

A new five-axis parallel kinematic mirror unit has been developed for MAX IV soft X-ray beamlines. Its development and technical characteristics are now described in a peer-reviewed article. In an article published in March 2020 in the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, a team from Uppsala University, MAX IV Laboratory, FMB Feinwerk und Messtechnik GmbH, and

Beyond graphene: monolayer arsenene observed for the first time at MAX IV

An article recently published in 2D Materials shows the first experimental evidence of the successful formation of arsenene, an analogue of graphene with noteworthy semiconducting properties. This material shows a great potential for the development of new nanoelectronics. Crucial sample preparation and electron spectroscopy experiments were performed at the Bloch beamline at MAX IV. The

The role of synthesis gas in tomorrow’s sustainable fuels

In a new publication in Nature Communications, a team from the Dutch company Syngaschem BV and the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research elucidates for the first time some aspects of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, used for converting synthesis gas into synthetic fuels. Analysis performed at HIPPIE beamline at MAX IV were instrumental to achieve these

Designing a Model Catalyst for Large-Scale Biofuel Production

Thanks to FemtoMAX the journey to real-time PET molecular imaging gets ‘faster’

In a paper published in October 2019, researchers from different institutions came to MAX IV to study timing performance of scintillators, materials employed in applications such as cancer diagnosis. At FemtoMAX they achieved an instrumental time resolution of 38 picoseconds, something never recorder in literature before. FemtoMAX, the ultrafast beamline at MAX IV, is now

MAX IV hosts the 6th Annual APXPS Workshop

Image: Attendees at the 6th annual APXPS workshop on the Lund University campus. MAX IV hosted the 6th Annual Ambient pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (APX-PS) Workshop from 10-13 December, 2019.  Over 100 researchers working in the fields of catalysis, electrochemistry, and environmental science met to discuss the newest developments and applications in ambient pressure XPS.

Using HIPPIE to shed light on catalysis at the atomic level

  Understanding chemical processes, such as catalysis, at the atomic level is a complex endeavour. It requires a thorough experimental design, which spans from choosing and developing the right model, to using the best instrument to perform controlled and advanced analysis. The latter aspect is where MAX IV comes into play with its state-of-the-art beamlines.

How to Select Brilliant Beamtime Proposals

The MAX IV Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) met from 31 October through the first week of November to discuss beamtime proposals submitted during the August call for general users. The MAX IV User Office holds PAC meetings on

First light detected at CoSAXS

  On Thursday November 14, the team at the CoSAXS beamline detected the first monochromatic light, a crucial step in the beamline commissioning activities. The CoSAXS beamline, set to become an advanced multipurpose Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) instrument, reached an critical landmark last week when the team detected the first monochromatic light. This detection
