We utilize the U4IR
beamline at the
National Synchrotron Light Source at
Brookhaven National Laboratory for Far-IR spectroscopy. We built a
special sample chamber vacuum box, seen in the center of the picture,
to accommodate Heli-Tran liquid helium flow cryostats. The measurement of
small samples at low temperatures (down to 4 Kelvin) is now easily accomplished.
We also utilize beamline U2B for mid-IR spectroscopy when high resolution (up to 0.5 wavenumbers) or high beam intensity is required.
