meeting 2024-12, BNL’s NSLS-II / 12ID-SMI-OPLS

12ID Soft Matter Interfaces beamline

  • two endstations: SWAXS and Open Platform Liquid Surfaces (OPLS)

very large chemistry lab, divided into users’ area and staff’s area, with a shared entrance for common supplies.

OPLS: liquid surface scattering with single crystal deflector optics

  • XRR, GID, GISAXS, XRFNTR, GIXOS-pseudoXRR

2D diamond CRL before deflecting crystal, ~2m from the sample, 10um vertical beam size

deflecting crystal: Ge111, a normal cut and a miscut one for horizontal broadening

sample environments:

  • Langmuir trough (Kibron)
  • environment chamber with multi-trough inserts
