Generating intense beams of low-energy molecules
G. N. Makarov Institute of Spectroscopy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Troitsk, Moscow
Abstract:
A method for obtaining intense pulsed beams of molecules possessing low kinetic energies is proposed. The method is based on the formation of a cold pressure shock (shock wave) in an intense pulsed molecular beam interacting with a solid surface, which serves as a source of the secondary beam of low-energy molecules. The proposed method was successfully used to obtain intense beams of H$_2$, He, CH$_4$, and Kr molecules with kinetic energies not exceeding 10 meV, and H$_2$/Kr and He/Kr beams with kinetic energies of H$_2$ and He molecules below 1 meV.
