The XAS beamline employs hard X-rays

across the range 6.3 - 31 keV (“Mn to Sb”). Please see the XAS page on the Australian Synchrotron website here for more details on the XAS photon delivery system. The energy range is accessed via

...

two ‘beamline modes’ covering

...

lower energies (6.3-19 keV / Mode X) and higher energies (15-31 keV

/ Mode

Y). Note that in order to

...

optimise a beamline mode, or to switch

...

between modes, approximately one day of user downtime is required. Therefore, all Mode

X experiments are

...

Elements in Red are analysed in Mode 1, Blue are commonly analysed in Mode 2, and Yellow are commonly analysed in Mode 3.

Titanium is only possible under certain circumstances - please contact us.

Copper can be analysed in Mode 1 if only XANES is required.

scheduled back-to-back, followed by all Mode Y experiments, each user cycle.

If

you would like to analyse edges in different

beamline modes,

you MUST submit a separate proposal for each mode. We recommend that

...

such proposals have the same content but different sample tables, and be designated ‘Part 1,' ‘Part 2,'
