The High-Temperature (HT) / catalysis / general-purpose ambient pressure cell enables photoemission measurements on catalytic and surface science-type systems at mbar pressures at temperatures up to 1000 °C. Currently, this is the only available sample environment at the solid-gas endstation. The Catalysis AP cell will be available for users after the upgrade.
For the time-resolved APXPS using please the HT cell, please, check Time-resolved APXPS page.
