X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is an upcoming method for the investigation of the electronic structure of chemical compounds. Typically the chemical shift of the Kβ-multiplett is analyzed. XES, therefore, requires a high spectral resolution and is mainly performed at synchrotron facilities.
We developed an X-ray tube based laboratory spectrometer for XES experiments. The dispersive element is a graphite mosaic crystal called Highly Annealed Pyrolytic Graphite (HAPG) in an adapted von Hamos geometry. The full cylinder optic combines high efficiency with a spectral resolving power of E/ΔE = 4000 for an energy range between 2 keV - 10 keV. The use of a polycapillary lens allows the analysis on a micrometer scale.
In this contribution, we will present the setup of the spectrometer and its properties. We will show results for the Kβ diagram line and valence-to-core region for thin and diluted samples, e.g. catalysts.
