ELISA instrument at BESSY-II

  • spectroscopy beamline for liquid-vapour interfaces (jet and Langmuir troughs) and solid surfaces
  • ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
  • low energy (20 - 1000eV) and high energy (250 - 2000eV) branches
  • infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy simultanously on both branches by guiding IR beams from BESSY to both stations

High energy branch: 250 - 2000eV

  • Langmuir trough for liquid surface
  • XPS nozzle 0.5mm above the surface with differential pumping
  • CCD on forward direction for X-ray scattering

Proof-of-principle experiment: stearic acid monolayer on water surface conducted at ALS, Berkeley, USA. (Hoek, et. al., JPCb, 2024)
