    Gratings for synchrotron and FEL beamlines: a project for the manufacture of ultra-precise gratings at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin
    (Chester : IUCr, 2018) Siewert, F.; Löchel, B.; Buchheim, J.; Eggenstein, F.; Firsov, A.; Gwalt, G.; Kutz, O.; Lemke, St.; Nelles, B.; Rudolph, I.; Schäfers, F.; Seliger, T.; Senf, F.; Sokolov, A.; Waberski, Ch.; Wolf, J.; Zeschke, T.; Zizak, I.; Follath, R.; Arnold, T.; Frost, F.; Pietag, F.; Erko, A.
    Blazed gratings are of dedicated interest for the monochromatization of synchrotron radiation when a high photon flux is required, such as, for example, in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering experiments or when the use of laminar gratings is excluded due to too high flux densities and expected damage, for example at free-electron laser beamlines. Their availability became a bottleneck since the decommissioning of the grating manufacture facility at Carl Zeiss in Oberkochen. To resolve this situation a new technological laboratory was established at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, including instrumentation from Carl Zeiss. Besides the upgraded ZEISS equipment, an advanced grating production line has been developed, including a new ultra-precise ruling machine, ion etching technology as well as laser interference lithography. While the old ZEISS ruling machine GTM-6 allows ruling for a grating length up to 170 mm, the new GTM-24 will have the capacity for 600 mm (24 inch) gratings with groove densities between 50 lines mm−1 and 1200 lines mm−1. A new ion etching machine with a scanning radiofrequency excited ion beam (HF) source allows gratings to be etched into substrates of up to 500 mm length. For a final at-wavelength characterization, a new reflectometer at a new Optics beamline at the BESSY-II storage ring is under operation. This paper reports on the status of the grating fabrication, the measured quality of fabricated items by ex situ and in situ metrology, and future development goals.

    The immersion mode ice nucleation behavior of mineral dusts: A comparison of different pure and surface modified dusts
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2014) Augustin-Bauditz, S.; Wex, H.; Kanter, S.; Ebert, M.; Niedermeier, D.; Stolz, F.; Prager, A.; Stratmann, F.
    In this study we present results from immersion freezing experiments with size-segregated mineral dust particles. Besides two already existing data sets for Arizona Test Dust (ATD), and Fluka kaolinite, we show two new data sets for illite-NX, which consists mainly of illite, a clay mineral, and feldspar, a common crustal material. The experiments were carried out with the Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction Simulator. After comparing the different dust samples, it became obvious that the freezing ability was positively correlated with the K-feldspar content. Furthermore, a comparison of the composition of the ATD, illite-NX, and feldspar samples suggests that within the K-feldspars, microcline is more ice nucleation active than orthoclase. A coating with sulfuric acid leads to a decrease in the ice nucleation ability of all mineral dusts, with the effect being more pronounced for the feldspar sample. Key Points The freezing ability of mineral dusts correlated with the K-feldspar contentAmong feldspars, microcline shows a better ice nucleation ability than orthoclaseAfter coating, all investigated dusts feature a similar ice nucleation ability.
