The sample holders  

 

We have available 4 sample holders (XL25 VG standard) for different uses. The sample holders 1 and 4 allows to heat and cool down samples, differently sample horders 2 and 3.



Sample holder 1 (with Mo plate)


Sample holder 2



Sample holder 3

Sample holder 4 (electron bombardment)


The specifications of the standard XL 25 sample are given below. For further details, click here.
Sample Size: 25.4mm Diameter (N.B. The block sample holder + sample has to pass through a copper gasket of inner diameter 40 mm).
 

Sample holder 1 (heater element)

Heating: Maximum Continuous Current: 1.2 Amps. Maximum Short Term Current: 5 Amps for up to 10 minutes from a cold start. If the element is pre-heated, this must be reduced accordingly. The heater element is pyrolytic graphite (PG) encapsulated in pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). The heating resistance is about 15 ohms.

Sample holder 4 (electron bombardment)

The sample holder 4 permits to heat samples by electron bombardment. The home made filament is made in 0.2 mm annealed Goodfellow thoriated tungsten.
With a filament current of 3.4 Amps, we reached a temperature of 800°C, sample grounded.
