HXMA - Hard X-ray Micro-Analysis Beamline
HXMA can be used to study the elemental local structure environment of materials in-situ and ex-situ, accommodating bulk and thin film samples.
Spectral Range
Techniques
Spectroscopy
- Grazing Incidence X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (GI-XAFS)
Samples
For transmission mode, powder samples can be prepared into pressed pellets on-site. HXMA also has a liquid helium cryostat for certain XAFS experiments.

Access
Purchased Access
Purchased access offers quick and accurate solutions to proprietary questions. CLS scientists develop experimental plans based on clients' needs, collect and analyze data, and provide detailed reports with key answers to critical questions.
Peer-Reviewed Access
Academic clients can submit proposals through a peer review process. Beam time is granted based on scientific merit, with the expectation that any results will be published. In special cases, rapid access is also available for instrument or beam time.
