Benefits

  • Radial Component Placement: Spherical chambers allow for precise radial placement of components.
  • Optimal volume-to-surface-area ratio: Spherical chambers provide a large working volume, ideal for applications that require substantial space.
  • Uniform Concentration: The spherical shape ensures consistent radiation or particle concentration from a single point to multiple focal points.

Applications

  • Pulsed Laser Deposition: Spherical chambers are integral to pulsed laser deposition techniques, where the accurate positioning of components along radial lines is essential for optimal results.
  • Surface Analysis: Spherical chambers are installed in instruments used for techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Contact Angle Measurements, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
  • Particle/Radiation Source Testing: The multiple ports allow for the introduction and analysis of particle or radiation sources directed at the sphere’s center or other focal points.
