Versatile UHV sample transfer system
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6400208
A vacuum transfer system has been developed that allows samples to be inserted from air into an Auger analyzer. Following an initial analysis they may then be moved to and from a separate vacuum chamber for other studies. The system is constructed of standard UHV components and is unlimited with respect to the transfer distance. All-metal sealed valves isolate the various chambers so that the vacuum integrity of each is maintained. The sample size is limited only by the smallest constriction within the components which, in the system described, is 2 cm. The transfer is rapid and is capable of being controlled remotely for use in a hostile environment.
