GKSS is currently investing heavily into new beamlines at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. After the completed installation of the wiggler beamline HARWI II at DORIS III GKSS is now building two new undulator beamlines at the new PETRA III storage ring. The High Energy Materials Science Beamline (HEMS) will allow high resolution diffraction experiments using samples and sample environments with masses up to 1 t, 3DXRD measurements, and high-energy micro-tomography experiments. The Imaging Beamline (IBL) will provide a nano-tomography as well as a micro-tomography station for X-ray energies up to 50 keV. Examples of typical experiments in the field of residual stress analysis, micro-tomography, and high-energy small-angle X-ray scattering will be given.

A conical slit cell for depth-resolved diffraction of high-energy X-rays was used for residual stress analysis at the high-energy materials science synchrotron beamline HEMS at PETRA III. With a conical slit width of 20 µm and beam cross-sections of 50 µm, a spatial resolution in beam direction of 0.8 mm was achieved. The setup was used for residual stress analysis in a drawn steel wire with 8.3 mm diameter. The residual stress results were in very good agreement with results of a FE simulation.

Abstract The oscillator strengths of the valence-shell excitations of C2H2 are extremely important for testing theoretical models and studying interstellar gases. In this study, the high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) method is adopted to determine the generalized oscillator strengths (GOSs) of the valence-shell excitations of C2H2 at a photon energy of 10 keV. The GOSs are extrapolated to their zero limit to obtain the corresponding optical oscillator strengths (OOSs). Through taking a completely different experimental method of the IXS, the present results offer the high energy limit for electron collision to satisfy the first Born approximation (FBA) and cross-check the previous experimental and theoretical results independently. The comparisons indicate that an electron collision energy of 1500 eV is not enough for C2H2 to satisfy the FBA for the large squared momentum transfer, and the line saturation effect limits the accuracy of the OOSs measured by the photoabsorption method.

TiAl alloys are increasingly used as a lightweight material, for example in aero engines, which also leads to the requirement for suitable repair techniques. Transient liquid phase bonding is a promising method for the closure of cracks (in non-critical or non-highly loaded areas). The brazing solder Ti-24Ni was investigated for brazing the alloy Ti-45Al-5Nb-0.2B-0.2C (in at. %). After brazing, the joint exhibits different microstructures and phase compositions. The transient liquid phase bonding process was investigated in the middle of the joint region in situ to acquire time resolved information of the phases, their development, and thus the brazing process. These investigations were performed using high-energy X-ray diffraction at the “High-Energy Materials Science” beamline HEMS, located at the synchrotron radiation facility PETRA III at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. For this, we used an induction furnace, which is briefly described here. During the analysis of the diffraction data with Rietveld refinement, the amount of liquid was refined with Gaussian peaks and thus could be quantified. Furthermore, while brazing four different phases occurred in the middle of the joint region over time. Additionally, the degree of ordering of the βo phase was determined with two ideal stoichiometric phases (completely ordered and disordered). Altogether, the phase composition changed clearly over the first six hours of the brazing process.

To improve our knowledge of arsenic local environment in sulfide minerals, Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) maps and High-Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detected (HERFD) XANES measurements are performed at the As K-edge. In addition, the spectra are compared to XANES modelled through first-principles calculations.

The future High Energy Materials Science Beamline HEMS at the new German high brilliance synchrotron radiation storage ring PETRA III [1] will have a main energy of 120 keV, will be fully tunable in the range of 50 to 300 keV, and will be optimized for sub-micrometer focusing with Compound Refractive Lenses and Kirkpatrick-Baez Multilayer mirrors. Design and construction is the responsibility of the Research Center Geesthacht, GKSS, with approximately 70 % of the beamtime being dedicated to Materials Research, the rest reserved for “general physics” experiments covered by DESY, Hamburg. Fundamental research will encompass metallurgy, physics and chemistry. For first experiments in investigating grain-grain-interactions a dedicated 3D-microstructure-mapper will be designed. Applied research for manufacturing process optimization will benefit from the high flux in combination with ultra-fast detector systems allowing complex and highly dynamic in-situ studies of microstructural transformations. The beamline infrastructure will allow easy accommodation of large user provided equipment. Experiments targeting the industrial user community will be based on well established techniques with standardised evaluation, allowing "full service" measurements. Environments for strain mapping [2] on large structural components up to 1 t will be provided as well as automated investigations of large numbers of samples, e.g. for tomography and texture determination. The current design for the beamline (P07 in sector 5 of the future experimental hall) consists of a nearly five meter in-vacuum undulator source (U19-5) optimized for high energies, a general optics hutch, an in-house test facility and three independent experimental hutches working alternately, plus additional set-up and storage space for long-term experiments. HEMS should be operational in spring 2009 as one of the first beamlines running at PETRA III.

We have performed high-resolution inelastic X-ray emission scattering experiments at the Cu 3p-, Cu 3s-, and O 1s-resonances of the insulating cuprates CuGeO 3, CuO, La 2 CuO 4, and SrCuO 2. We introduce the novel low-energy s-edge Cu-RIXS which reveals a dd-excitation peak, which was previously unobserved due to insufficient resolution and intensity in high-energy (Cu 1s RIXS). Also, O 1s-RIXS of all cuprate sample is investigated. Surprisingly, there is a large spread in the energy loss values of the RIXS features for different compounds and we explain this by assigning the larger energy features to the occurrence of a Zhang–Rice singlet while the lower energy feature (only observed for CuGeO 3) is assigned to a dd-excitation.

In the search for high-energy materials, novel 3D-fluorophosphates, Li2Co1− x Fe x PO4F and Li2Co1− x Mn x PO4F, have been synthesized. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy have been applied to analyze the structural and morphological features of the prepared materials. Both systems, Li2Co1− x Fe x PO4F and Li2Co1− x Mn x PO4F, exhibited narrow ranges of solid solutions: x ≤ 0.3 and x ≤ 0.1, respectively. The Li2Co0.9Mn0.1PO4F material demonstrated a reversible electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of 75 mA·h·g−1 (current rate of C/5) upon cycling between 2.5 and 5.5 V in 1 M LiBF4/TMS electrolyte. Galvanostatic measurements along with cyclic voltammetry supported a single-phase de/intercalation mechanism in the Li2Co0.9Mn0.1PO4F material.
