Luminescence spectroscopy under synchrotron radiation: From SUPERLUMI to FINESTLUMI

Abstract Luminescence spectroscopy under synchrotron radiation excitation is the unique tool for materials characterization. In the current work we are reporting recent activity in this research field implemented in the Finnish-Estonian beamline (FinEstBeAMS) which is installed at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV Laboratory at Lund, Sweden. It has been designed to cover an unusually wide energy range from ultraviolet (4.3 eV) to soft X-rays (1500 eV), which is perfectly suited for luminescence spectroscopy experiments. The past development and the present technical parameters of the luminescence experimental stations FINESTLUMI of FinEstBeAMS beamline are described. The comparison of …
