Installation of an IR/Raman measuring station at the ESRF for simultaneous detection of vibrational and nuclear resonant scattering spectra

摘要

Research on micro-structured iron-containing samples can be efficiently carried out by means of nuclear resonant scattering techniques at synchrotron facilities, because the high brilliance and low divergence of the beam facilitates the characterization of micrometer-sized samples containing Mossbauer active isotopes. Additional information can be obtained if the nuclear scattering techniques are combined with classical vibrational methods such as Raman and IR microspectroscopy. The sample environment presented within this paper provides the possibility to measure Raman spectra and to obtain optical (visible) on-line information about possible changes/damages of the sample during synchrotron beam exposition.
