First users at FlexPES look ‘through’ solar cells

The FlexPES beamline has recently welcomed its first regular user, conducting experiments on a new type of semi-transparent solar cells. With its two branches and up to four focal points, FlexPES allows for research spanning over several scientific fields, from surface and material science, to studies on low-density matter.

Light on sample at FlexPES

First beam was observed at the FlexPES frontend on 20.05.2019, and a variety of important commissioning milestones were achieved in June 2019 (before the summer shutdown). Although much more systematic work has to be done after the summer, a GENERAL USER CALL FOR FlexPES WILL BE ANNOUNCED ALREADY IN AUGUST 2019, with first user experiments
