项目摘要

Funding is requested for a third operational period of the UK CRG XMaS at ESRF, which provides a facility for internationally competitive SR-based diffraction studies for over a dozen UK research groups predominantly from university Physics, and Chemistry departments. The beamline, which opened to users in 1998, is staffed by a team of 5 based at ESRF and co-directed from Liverpool (CA Lucas) and Warwick (MJ Cooper) and has been supported by two successive 5yr EPSRC operational grants to date. It is distinguished by its unique sample environment and analysis facilities, especially low temperature high magnetic field and polarisation analysis which have led to highlighted resonant x-ray diffraction work on in highly correlated systems such as magnets, superconductors and CMR compounds, rare earth and actinide multilayers, establishing details of the charge ordering and the electronic structure. In addition non resonant scattering from real surfaces has ranged from quantum dots to self organised arrays and the study of electrolysis in relationship to electrocatalyis and the corrosion of cultural heritage objects; in addition the beam line accommodates diverse work on biomaterials (strain in dentine, scattering signatures of biological tissue).The beamline, which is a mature facility, will work with the emerging UK facility DIAMOND, which cannot provide comparable research facilities in the period in question for the size and diversity of the UK community, to ensure a comprehensive provision for the UK community and transfer of know-how via a joint PDRA appointment.

要求资助ESRF的英国CRG XMAS的第三个运营期，该期限为国际竞争性SR的衍射研究提供了一个设施，主要是来自大学物理学和化学部门的十二个英国研究小组。该光束线于1998年向用户开放，由一个位于ESRF的5人组成，并由利物浦（CA Lucas）和Warwick（MJ Cooper）共同执导，并得到了迄今为止两次连续的5年EPSRC Operational Grants的支持。它的特点是其独特的样品环境和分析设施，尤其是低温高磁场和极化分析，这导致在高度相关的系统（例如磁铁，超导体和CMR化合物，稀土），稀土和Actinide多层中突出了共鸣X射线衍射工作，建立了电荷订购和电子结构的详细信息。另外，来自真实表面的非谐振散射范围从量子点到自组织的阵列以及与电催化剂关系的电解以及文化遗产物体的腐蚀的研究； in addition the beam line accommodates diverse work on biomaterials (strain in dentine, scattering signatures of biological tissue).The beamline, which is a mature facility, will work with the emerging UK facility DIAMOND, which cannot provide comparable research facilities in the period in question for the size and diversity of the UK community, to ensure a comprehensive provision for the UK community and transfer of know-how via a joint PDRA appointment.
