A MASS SPECTROMETER SYSTEM FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH. PHASE III

Abstract

T ere are 3 areas in which mass pectrom try may be expected to contribute to science an technology: (1) i ntification and estimation of inor components a d trace impuriti s in solids; ( <) structural u ies of high-molecular weight materials; (3) identific tion and estimation of unknown materials by precise measurement of molecular weight. A program of research and development was undertaken to produce a single high-performance mass-resolving system which, together wit a limite nu ber of ion source an ion det ctor modules, would be adaptable to any of the 3 problem areas. A basic system with a resolu ion of about one par in 2500 was produce . Io sources u ing park, electron bombardment and high temperature crucible were adapted to he basic system and photographic plate, electrome er and electron multiplier etectors were used. (Author)
