A Mass Spectrometer for Isotope and Gas Analysis

Key Points

This research focuses on developing a mass spectrometer designed for routine isotope analysis of lighter elements.
Described complete electronic circuits for operation.
Utilized an all-metal mass spectrometer tube.
Employed a null method for determining relative abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Instrument optimized for analyzing elements with available separated isotopes.
Potential modifications allow usage for the entire atomic table.
Can be adapted for gas analyses.

Abstract

A mass spectrometer suitable for routine isotope analyses of the lighter elements is described. Complete electronic circuits are given. An all metal mass spectrometer tube is employed. A null method of determining relative abundances of the elements carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen is used. Although designed primarily for analyzing elements for which separated isotopes are available as tracers, the instrument may be modified for use over the entire atomic table or for making gas analyses.
