The MRCAT insertion device beamline at the Advanced Photon Source

An X-ray Absorption Fine Structure study of Au adsorbed onto the non-metabolizing cells of two soil bacterial species

“…Fluorescence Au L III -edge (11,919 eV) XAFS measurements were made on the biomass pellets which were loaded into slotted Teflon holders and covered with Kapton film. The XAFS measurements were performed at the MRCAT sector 10-ID beamline (Segre et al, 2000) at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.…”

High- and low-affinity binding sites for Cd on the bacterial cell walls of Bacillus subtilis and Shewanella oneidensis

“…Fluorescence mode Cd K edge (26,711 eV) EXAFS measurements were performed at MRCAT, sector 10-ID beamline of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (Segre et al, 2000). The energy of the incident X-rays was scanned by using a Si(1 1 1) reflection plane of a cryogenically-cooled double-crystal monochromator.…”

X-ray absorption spectroscopy identifies calcium-uranyl-carbonate complexes at environmental concentrations

“…These uranium L III -edge measurements were made at the high-photon-flux ($5 · 10 13 photons per second) insertion device (10-ID) beamline, MR-CAT (Segre et al, 2000), at the Advance Photon Source, with the use of a 13-element solid-state detector (Canberra with XIA electronics). The insertion device was tapered to reduce the variation in the X-ray intensity to less than 15% throughout the scanned energy range (17,000-18,000 eV).…”
