In this work, a 1 m long Sasaki-type elliptically polarizing undulator (EPU) prototype with 5.6 cm period length is used to examine the mechanical design feasibility as well as magnetic field performance. The magnetic field characteristics of the EPU5.6 prototype at various phase shifts and gap motion are described. The field errors from mechanical tolerances, magnet block errors, end field effects and phase/gap motion effects are analysed. The procedures related to correcting the field with the block position tuning, iron shimming and the trim blocks at both ends are outlined.

The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, C₂₄H₃₀N₄O₄S₂, is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal, weak C—HO inter­actions link the mol­ecules, forming infinite sheets.

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₀BrNO₂, the dihedral angle between the five- and six-membered rings of the phthalamide system is 1.00 (16)°. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­ations except for van der Waals contacts.

The first coordination sphere of spin crossover material has been comprehended to play a dominant role to its magnetic property. However, the intermolecular interactions, such as π···π interaction and hydrogen bonding, also play a crucial factor. The contents of the solvent in a 2D layer structure, Fe (μ-atrz)(μ-pyz)(NCS)2·nH2O where n=4, 2 and 0, has been reported to be able to affect the spin transition behavior dramatically.[1] As loss of solvent molecules, the inter-layer distance becomes shorter and the transition temperature shifts to lower temperature and accompanies a larger hysteresis loop. To further understand the correlation between the inter-layer distance and magnetic property, the guest ab/desorption and pressure-induced synchrotron powder diffraction experiments were performed at BL01C2 in NSRRC. Based on the cyclic TGA measurements, the guest molecules, H2O, MeOH and EtOH, all can be removed and retaken repeatedly. The pressure-induced PXRD experiment was performed using a Boehler-Almax design diamond anvil cell (DAC). The detail structural studies attempt to understand not only the spin state changes from HS (high spin state) to LS (low spin state) but also the cooperative effect through the inter-layer distance.
