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.

ESRF 的英国 CRG XMaS 的第三个运行期需要资金，该项目为主要来自大学物理和化学系的十几个英国研究小组提供了具有国际竞争力的基于 SR 的衍射研究的设施。该光束线于 1998 年向用户开放，由来自 ESRF 的 5 名团队组成，由利物浦 (CA Lucas) 和沃里克 (MJ Cooper) 共同领导，迄今为止已连续两次获得 EPSRC 运营拨款的支持。它以其独特的样品环境和分析设施而著称，特别是低温高磁场和偏振分析，导致在磁体、超导体和 CMR 化合物、稀土和锕系元素等高度相关系统中的共振 X 射线衍射工作突出多层，建立电荷排序和电子结构的细节。此外，来自真实表面的非共振散射范围从量子点到自组织阵列，以及与电催化和文化遗产腐蚀相关的电解研究；此外，光束线可适应生物材料的多种工作（牙本质应变、生物组织的散射特征）。光束线是一个成熟的设施，将与新兴的英国设施 DIAMOND 合作，该设施在 2017 年期间无法提供可比的研究设施。问题是英国社区的规模和多样性，以确保通过联合 PDRA 任命为英国社区提供全面的服务和专业知识的转让。
