The High Temperature Effusion Cells HTEZ are designed for clean UHV operation up to 1900°C. This is accomplished by a self-supporting tungsten filament. |
![]() Main parts of the HTEZ-W schematic |
Well-designed tungsten filaments have proved to be very stable, thus safeguarding a long lifetime even when working on the upper limit of the cell. The figure on the right provides a view into the orifice of a hot HTEZ-W cell. The red-hot filament is clearly visible. The HTEZ-W design allows mounting ceramic crucibles (e.g. BeO) directly into the cell without outer metal crucible. In this way a higher temperature of the evaporation material in the crucible can be achieved. |

The HTEZ-W is designed for evaporation or sublimation of low vapor pressure elements and compounds at temperatures up to 2000°C, e.g. for materials like Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, V, Pt, Ti, La etc. Typical applications are surface science analysis or thin film deposition of magnetic or oxide layers.
The maximum operating temperature of the HTEZ-W may be limited by the crucible choice, e.g. to 1600°C with PBN. Furthermore, possible reactions of evaporants with the crucible material should be taken into account, which may also reduce the maximum advisable temperature.
Please refer to the Selection Guide for material data and decision-making advice.
