FemtoLEED Spectrometer DLD L1000

Ultra-Sensitive and Insulating Film Crystallography

Collaboration with RoentDek in Germany. Notes:

Different electronics & software: LPS075-D (electron gun & grids); DLA-TR8 (controller for delay line detector & computer interface PCI card); DLD-LIM32 (delay line detector acquisition software & LEED analysis software for Windows 7/10); Cobold (for analyzing data from anode – hit times, location calculations etc. – to produce image).

In addition to the LPS075-D & MCPS02 controllers, a DLA-TR8 controller from RoentDek is needed for operation of the hexDLD-anode.

Description

The FemtoLEED DLD L1000 with integral shutter enables measurements of ultra-sensitive and insulating films. Instead of a fluorescent screen, it uses a delay line detector which allows for fully digital operation. The hex-anode provides minimized blind area due to the redundant detection opportunities of the added third delay line layer.


Features

  • Fully digital
  • Minimized blind area
  • Electron diffraction on insulating single crystal samples
  • Large coherence width
  • Powerful operation with digital LEED controller

Applications

The FemtoLEED DLD L1000 is specifically useful for investigations on ultra-sensitive and insulating films. The fully digital system negates the need for an external CCD camera for live image capture.

Drawings

For seamless integration, 3D step files are available for all models.

Configuration Guide

The FemtoLEED DLD L1000 optics is controlled using a LPS075-D power supply with a MCPS02 controller used to operate the microchannel plates. In addition to the LPS075-D and MCPS02 controllers, the DLA-TR8 controller from Roentdek is needed for operation of the hexDLD-anode. Integral shutter (Model ISH) and LaB6 filament (Model LaB6) are further options.
