DXRL Deep X-Ray Lithography (DXRL) is a manufacturing process by which a pattern is transferred from an X-ray mask to a material, which changes its dissolution rate in a liquid solvent (developer) under high energy irradiation, through exposition to synchrotron radiation characterized by high resolution, high intensity and extreme parallelism.

FERMI


Beamline Technique Scientist
Machine Physics FERMI is a linac-driven free-electron laser based on High Gain Harmonic Generation, operating from the extreme UV to the soft x-ray regime. The excellent transverse and longitudinal coherence, high energy per pulse and stability relay on the generation and optimisation of high brightness electron beams (i.e. low emittance and high peak current). Giuseppe Penco
PADReS PADReS is the photon transport and diagnostics system collecting the photons generated by the machine, characterizing their intensity, spectral content and other properties for each single pulse, online and shot-to-shot, and delivering them to the experiments, focusing the radiation onto the experimental samples by means of state-of-the-art optical systems. Nicola Mahne Alberto Simoncig
EIS The EIS-Timer and EIS-Timex instruments exploit the unique characteristics of the FERMI FEL source for performing time resolved studies on condensed matter. The principal research applications are nanoscale transport properties, transient states of matter under extreme conditions and nonlinear EUV/soft x-ray optics. Riccardo Mincigrucci
TeraFERMI TeraFERMI is the THz beamline for nonlinear spectroscopy at FERMI. Indeed, the high electric field of its beam can induce nonlinear effects in particular quantum materials. A class of those materials is that of Topological Insulators, insulators but with a metallic state on their surface, whose collective electrons modes (plasmons) can be controlled by the THz source.

LABORATORIES


Laboratory Technique Scientist
Laser Group FERMI is based on the HGHG seeding scheme and strongly relies on the use of ultrafast laser systems for the generation of the electron bunches (photoinjector laser), suppression of microbunching instabilities (laser heater), seeding by tunable UV light (seed laser) and pump-probe experiments at the user stations (pulses derived from the seed laser). Miltcho Danailov
T-ReX T-ReX is a facility for table-top time-resolved spectroscopies, from optical spectroscopies in the infrared, visible and UV range to angle-resolved photoemission with UV and XUV pulses. It implements the non-equilibrium approach to investigate complex materials and photoinduced phase transitions. Federico Cilento
Optics Group The Optics Group supports Elettra and FERMI with conceptual and optical system design, ray tracing, wavefront propagation. The Optical Metrology Lab provides complete characterization of X-ray mirrors surface topography, thanks to a clean room equipped with interferometers and a Long Trace Profiler. The X-ray Lab sources test single crystals, multilayers and powders. Lorenzo Raimondi
