SOLEIL II - Come to SOLEIL
- Phonebook & CONTACTS
|
March 2011. With about 300 publications in 2010 and nearly 30 at the start of this year, SOLEIL is up there with the best in terms of performance and scientific productivity. Twenty beamlines will be available this year for the scientific community and industrial users aware of the possibilities of synchrotron radiation. This promises to be a busy year, although 2010 ended hectically, this becoming almost a tradition, with great excitement over our budget.... |

The Mott transition in the light of synchrotron radiation
Understanding this metal-insulator transition is essential, not only from a fundamental point of view but also to control the electronic properties of materials. Read more (168.55 KB)
Know how
An in-vacuum wiggler for the PSICHE beamline
PSICHE beamline, expected to be available to users in 2012, will be partly dedicated to high energy X-ray diffraction under extreme conditions and partly to microtomography. its light source will be an in-vacuum wiggler, designed and built at SOLEIL. Read more (134.07 KB)
