title: UHV-manipulator attachment for azimuthal sample rotation with electrical readout.
abstract: A nonmagnetic UHV-compatible sample manipulator is described, which allows direct electrical readout of the azimuthal rotation angle by a wire-wound potentiometer inside the vacuum. The rotation about an axis in the sample surface is completely decoupled from the azimuthal rotation about the surface normal. The sample temperature can be varied between +2000 degrees and -70 degrees C by resistive heating or by cooling the current leads. The sample manipulator is designed such that it can easily be attached to commercial manipulators with a flip actuator.
