Status of the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD)—2007

The J. Bennett Johnston, Sr., Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) is a 1.3GeV synchrotron-radiation facility owned and operated by the State of Louisiana. Sixteen beamlines provide radiation for CAMD users and cover the spectral range from the far IR to X-rays of ca. 40keV. Twelve of them receive radiation from bending magnets with the remaining four from a 7-T wavelength shifter. A wide range of scientific experiments related to basic and applied sciences and engineering as well as microfabrication are performed at these beamlines. A nanomaterials synthesis laboratory is present at CAMD which very effectively utilizes the available facilities.
