Elettra
BL 03.2 R - VUV Photoemission

Vacuum UltraViolet Photoemission

The VUV Photoemission beamline, a joint project of ISM-CNR and Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste, offers advanced instrumentation for Italian and International condensed matter community. The VUV is designed primarily for surface and solid state experiments by high resolution photoemission.The research activity at the VUV photoemission beamline covers a wide range of scientific topics on the physics of metal and semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. In particular the following types of experiments can be carried out:

  • band mapping by high energy and angle-resolved photoemission;

  • high resolution photoemission on core levels and valence band;

  • photoelectron diffraction.
