Abstract

Over a period of years, this laboratory has accumulated an array of cells used in laser-induced, gas-phase irradiations. We attempt to keep pace with new cells that might be useful in the area of laser-induced chemistry. As different cells are tried, some are not useful, for one reason or another. A common problem encountered with some of these cells is that they will not meet the high vacuum standards necessary for the Army's research.
