چکیده انگلیسی
Although critical to quantitative linear dichroism studies of molecular orientation, the degree of linear polarization of focused soft X-ray beams delivered by X-ray microscopes has not been previously measured. Here, we present a scaled-down version of a recently developed technique in which the Ïâ near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) resonance of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) is used to probe the electric field intensity in each direction and hence deduce the degree of linear polarization of the incident X-ray beam. Applying this technique to the soft X-ray microscope at beamline 5.3.2 of the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley, CA, yielded a measured value of 79±11%, for the first Stokes parameter of 0.79±0.11 or as a Stöhr P factor of 0. 89±0.06. It is expected that the error margin could be significantly reduced via the use of an in-vacuum rotation actuator. We have also calibrated the energy of the graphite exciton to be 291.65±0.025 eV, improving the utility of graphite as an energy calibration standard for NEXAFS and allowing the convenience of both energy calibration and polarization determination with a single inexpensive sample.
