Abstract

Heated tungsten ribbons are used in many experiments as radiation sources, metal deposition sources, electron bombardment sources, and molecular cracking sources. Most commonly, the ribbons are attached to heating leads by spot welding. This method requires that the mounted power leads be removed from the vacuum system for ribbon replacement, a time-consuming procedure. An alternative method for ribbon attachment shown in Fig. 3.1 may be carried out inside the vacuum system without welding [1].
