High-temperature thermodynamical studies by a mass spectrometry device for measurements using multiple effusion cells

Abstract: A device is described to facilitate direct comparative measurements of vapor pressures with multiple effusion cells attached to a mass spectrometer, particularly for the reproducibility of mechanical repositioning of the cells and the ionization conditions of the molecular beam in the ion source. Measurements show that with this device this method can be applied satisfactorily to the determination of thermodynamic activities in high-temperature systems.

“…[16,17] Consistent molecular beam sampling was achieved by inserting two fixed apertures (a ''field aperture'', 0.8 mm in diameter, and a ''source aperture'', 2 mm in diameter about 38 mm apart) between the effusion cell and ion source and accurate alignment of each effusion-cell orifice with the fixed apertures. [14][15][16][17] The apertures fix the shape and position of the molecular beam, which defines an ionization volume that is independent of the vapor source. This configuration works best when the fixed apertures define a source area for the molecular beam, A s , that is smaller than the cross section of the effusion orifice, A o , a condition referred to as ''restricted collimation''.…”

“…The partial pressures were determined as a function of temperature by Knudsen effusion-cell mass spectrometry, KEMS, where p(i) inside the effusion-cell is determined from the measured intensity of a representative ion beam, I i , and absolute temperature, T, according to the relationship: p(i) = I i T / S i (where S i is the instrument sensitivity factor) [38] . The need to determine S i and absolute partial pressure was removed in this study with a multiple effusion-cell vapor source (with three effusion-cells), multi-cell KEMS, which allows the relative partial pressure between samples in adjacent effusion-cells to be determined directly [39][40][41][42] .…”
