X9 is an x-ray synchrotron beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), Brookhaven National Lab (BNL). It is a joint beamline between the NSLS and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials. The instrument is optimized for doing Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS), as well as wide-angle Grazing-Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GID/GIXD/GIWAXS).

Energy range

Can perform experiments from 6 keV to 20 keV.

q-range

The instrument can capture data on both a SAXS and WAXS detector (either simultaneously or sequentially). The q-range depends on x-ray energy and the sample-detector distance. For SAXS, one can typically obtain (e.g. for 13.5 keV):

  • 5.4 m: 0.002 Å−1 to 0.1 Å−1 (314 nm to 6.3 nm)
  • 4.1 m: 0.005 Å−1 to 0.2 Å−1 (125 nm to 3.5 nm)
  • 3.0 m: 0.004 Å−1 to 0.2 Å−1 (157 nm to 3.5 nm)
  • 2.0 m: 0.010 Å−1 to 0.4 Å−1 (63 nm to 1.6 nm)
  • 1.5 m: 0.011 Å−1 to 0.45 Å−1 (63 nm to 1.4 nm)

For WAXS, the standard configuration yields approximately (for 13.5 keV):

  • 0.235 m (sample inside chamber): 0.13 Å−1 to 4.1 Å−1 (4.8 nm to 0.15 nm)
  • ~0.4 m (sample upstream of chamber): 0.15 Å−1 to 2.1 Å−1 (4.2 nm to 0.3 nm)

Safety

Users must complete NSLS safety training, as well as receive beamline-specific training:
