Re: plasma cleaning system making soot
Andrew, Obviously it's contamination reacting with the plasma. Do you clean your whole chamber with acetone every run? Try not to use silicon grease as it will capture contaminants and also migrate

Re: Diffusion Pump Design & Construction
Bill, To echo what others are likely to have said, large diffusion pumps are often available on eBay for a song. They are less desirable than small pumps, just because there are fewer amateur

Re: Diffusion Pump Design & Construction
I would be more concerned about getting the chamber before thinking about the pumps. A 36" diameter chamber is not a trivial thing. Do you already have one ??? I searched ebay for a year before I

Re: Useing nickle in tungsten boat
I agree. That deep purple coating is only about 40% reflective but it is very tough. I coated my secondary a little wrong about 2 years ago and it still looks perfect....... But is only 40%

Re: Useing nickle in tungsten boat
Hi Henry, That is very possible. The nickel has a high melting point and by the time it melts in the boat everything is very hot. Once it did melt it was only a mater of seconds before the boat melted

Re: Useing nickle in tungsten boat
Isnt there any risk that the tungsten would be disolved into the nickel so it would be a deposit of both? It might not matter perhaps just wanted to mention it if this now micht be the case. Regards
