Abstract

An intense supersonic beam of atomic fluorine has been generated using nozzles fabricated from single-crystal CaF2 and MgF2. The latter material has been tested up to 1000°C with no observable damage. This is >250°C hotter than previously achieved, increasing the atomic beam intensity by >5×.
