项目摘要

Synchrotron radiation (SR) sources provide brilliant beams of light by accelerating electrons at high energies around a circular magnetic lattice. The resulting X-rays provide a uniquely powerful tool in the exploration of structure, composition and excitations in materials. The UK has been at the forefront of SR provision for decades, building the world's first dedicated facility in 1981. Insertion devices, first introduced as part of the lattice at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and then incorporated into the new magnetic lattice at the Diamond Light Source (DLS), increased the flux and beam quality, greatly increasing the impact of SR across the physical and life-science portfolios. New magnets and vacuum technologies mean that storage rings can now be designed to give X-ray beams with hugely increased brilliance (flux per unit area per unit solid angle in a specified bandwidth) and coherence. These transformative designs are redefining the SR landscape with all major facilities planning upgrades to this lattice technology.The XMaS (X-ray Materials Science) beamline facility is part of the ESRF which, in 2019, undergoes the final phase of its upgrade programme (EBS project) with the installation of an ultra-low emittance storage ring. After the EBS upgrade the XMaS beamline will have more than an order of magnitude increase in usable flux for most experiments due to a smaller focused beam size. The new source characteristics also allow higher X-ray energies to be used and expand the scientific challenges that can currently be addressed. For the first time, it will be possible to study the same sample volume across an extensive energy range and within the same sample environment. This will enable real time reactions to be followed on a site-by-site basis, opening up new opportunities for studying materials relevant to catalysis and green chemistry applications. The facility will deliver new insights into quantum critical behaviour as well as facilitating studies of confinement and proximity in magnetic and superconducting materials at low temperatures (1-10 K). Newly combined X-ray metrologies enable structure to be measured across a wide range of length and time scales simultaneously. More systems will be studied in-operando and under technologically relevant conditions, for example, the study of ionic migration in battery systems and photovoltaics. Structural studies will become spatially resolved allowing studies of individual domains and their temporal evolution under external stimuli. An upper energy of ~33 keV will extend studies of buried interfaces in complex sample environments, for example, solid-liquid interfaces, relevant to electrochemical technologies. External stimuli including electrical and magnetic fields as well as humidity, gaseous atmospheres and temperature control (1 to 1200 K) will all be available.XMaS is an enabling tool, and provides an essential part of the UK research infrastructure for material science ensuring that UK researchers have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, expertise and techniques now and into the future. By providing an essential layer of capacity and unique capabilities, XMaS facilitates investigator-led research by enabling X-ray characterisation across a range of temporal and spatial length scales. In addition, by training students and early career researchers, XMaS provides highly skilled individuals to the wider materials research base. Partnerships with national research centres and international collaborators ensure the future competitiveness, resilience and creativity of the UK materials sector which relies on the development, characterisation and exploitation of novel functional materials. The balance of science on XMaS will encompass both long-term discovery-led research as well as shorter term impact-focused research thereby providing an environment for transformative, challenge-led material science research.

同步加速器辐射（SR）来源通过在圆形磁性晶格周围高能以高能来加速电子，从而提供了光束光束。所得的X射线为材料中的结构，组成和激发探索提供了独特的功能。英国数十年来一直处于SR供应的最前沿，建立了1981年世界上第一个专用设施。插入设备，首先是作为欧洲同步器辐射设施（ESRF）的晶格的一部分引入的插入设备，然后在钻石光源（DLS）的新型磁带（DLS）中融合到新的磁力范围内的质量和寿命增加了SR的效果，并增加了SR and sr and Sr and Sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr and sr。新的磁铁和真空技术意味着现在可以设计存储环，以使X射线梁具有亮度大大提高（指定带宽中的每单位固体角度通量）和相干性。这些变革性的设计正在通过所有主要设施计划升级到该晶格技术的所有主要设施来重新定义SR景观。圣诞节（X射线材料科学）梁线设备是ESRF的一部分，ESRF的一部分，在2019年，其安装了An Ultra-Low-Loflow Emittance存储环。在EBS升级后，由于较小的聚焦梁尺寸，大多数实验的Xmas梁线将在可用通量的数量级上增加数量级。新的源特性还允许使用更高的X射线能量，并扩大目前可以解决的科学挑战。首次可以在广泛的能量范围内和相同的样品环境中研究相同的样品体积。这将使实时反应能够逐步遵循，从而为研究与催化和绿色化学应用相关的材料提供了新的机会。该设施将提供有关量子关键行为的新见解，并促进在低温（1-10 K）下对磁性和超导材料的限制和接近性的研究。新组合的X射线计量学使结构能够同时在宽的长度和时间尺度上进行测量。将研究更多的系统，并在技术相关的条件下，例如，在电池系统和光伏技术中研究离子迁移。结构研究将在空间上得到解决，允许研究各个领域及其在外部刺激下的时间进化。〜33 KEV的上能将扩展对复杂样品环境中埋入界面的研究，例如与电化学技术相关的固液界面。包括电场和磁场，湿度，气态气氛和温度控制（1至1200 K）的外部刺激都将全部可用。XMAS是一种有利的工具，为英国研究基础构造提供了材料科学的重要组成部分，以确保英国研究人员能够访问目前和未来的先进仪器，专业知识和技术。通过提供能力和独特能力的必要层，圣诞节通过在一系列时间和空间长度尺度上实现X射线表征来促进研究人员主导的研究。此外，通过培训学生和早期职业研究人员，圣诞节为更广泛的材料研究基础提供了高技能的个人。与国家研究中心和国际合作者的合作伙伴关系确保了英国材料部门的未来竞争力，韧性和创造力，这依赖于新型功能材料的开发，表征和开发。圣诞节上的科学平衡将涵盖长期发现领导的研究，以及更短期的以影响力影响为重点的研究，从而为变革性，挑战性的材料科学研究提供了一个环境。
