摘要

A low temperature sample environment for x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements in small-angle scattering geometry is presented. The chamber has been designed to allow investigations of dynamical phenomena in supercooled liquids and the typical working temperature range is 110-330 K with a thermal stability Delta T/T down to 10(-4). A variable external magnetic field up to 0.12 T can be applied, which is of interest in studies of, e.g., ferrofluids and liquid crystalline materials. Here, technical details about the sample environment are given together with examples of recent applications.
