VEKMAG is a vector superconducting magnet station, which is being jointly developed by Regensburg University, Free University Berlin, Ruhr University Bochum, and Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. The instrument is installed at the PM2 dipole beamline of the synchrotron facility BESSY II.
The instrument is designed for XAS/XMCD/XMLD measurements, as well as for ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements using XMCD. Its 3D vector magnet can provide 9 T field in the x-ray beam direction, 2 T field anywhere in the horizontal plane, and 1 T field in all directions. It has two variable temperature inserts (VTI) - the low temperature VTI and the FMR VTI which allow measurements with a temperature range of 2 K-400 K and 4 K-500 K respectively.
The VEKMAG project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
