General Information

• RESEARCH PROGRAM: Primarily far-infrared spectroscopy of materials - metals, metal-oxides, superconductors, conducting polymers.

• RING: VUV-IR port.

• STATUS: Operational.

• TIME DEDICATED TO NSLS GENERAL USER PROGRAM: 25% of operations.  NB: General Users are expected to understand the fundamentals of infrared spectroscopy, and to be familiar with modern rapid-scan Fourier-transform interferometers.  If you would like to learn more about the fundamentals of infrared spectroscopy, you can view a PDF file of a monograph Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy that I am working on, but have not yet finished (you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this document).
