Report on the Study of Radiation Damage in Calcium Fluoride and Magnesium Fluoride Crystals for use in Excimer Laser Applications

Description: A study was performed to investigate the effects of radiation damage in calcium fluoride and magnesium fluoride crystals caused by gamma rays and UV photons from excimer lasers. The purpose was to study and correlate the damage caused by these two different mechanisms in various types of material used for fabricating optical elements in high power excimer lasers and lens systems of lithography tools. These optical systems are easily damaged by the laser itself, and it is necessary to use only t… more

Some comments on manganin wire pressure gauges

Description: A standard manganin wire pressure gage was examined by comparing it with a recently developed 0.01% CaF/sub 2/ capacitive pressure gage. The effects of the Bridgman water kick'' and intrinsic time constant are clearly shown, and the results punctuate the usual assertion that manganin wire gages are extremely difficult to use approaching the 0.1% level.

Selective Adsorption of Sodium Aluminum Fluoride Salts from Molten Aluminum

Description: Aluminum is produced in electrolytic reduction cells where alumina feedstock is dissolved in molten cryolite (sodium aluminum fluoride) along with aluminum and calcium fluorides. The dissolved alumina is then reduced by electrolysis and the molten aluminum separates to the bottom of the cell. The reduction cell is periodically tapped to remove the molten aluminum. During the tapping process, some of the molten electrolyte (commonly referred as “bath” in the aluminum industry) is carried over wi… more
