Thermal Hydrogen Cracker

The new H-flux Atomic Hydrogen Source* works by thermally dissociating hydrogen in an electron bombardment heated fine tungsten capillary (thermal hydrogen cracker). By bouncing along the hot walls the molecular hydrogen is cracked to atomic hydrogen. This is e.g. very useful for in-situ, damage free cleaning of residual oxygen prior to sample coating or analysis. Other applications are in surface modifications appreciating the high reactivity of atomic species.
The H-flux Atomic Hydrogen Source is UHV compatible and mounted on a NW35CF (2.75"OD) flange, making the source an easy retrofit to existing vacuum systems.
