“…Vaporization rates decrease in the order Bi, TI, Pb, Sn, Ni, Fe, Μη, Ag, Hg, As, Te, Cd, Zn, Sb, Cu, In, Ga, Ge, Ti, Th, Ta, Mo, W. 18 Direct current arcs have also been used successfully for metal vaporiza tions. 19 ' 20 Interrupted arcs with vibrating electrodes also have been used, 21 ' 22 as has inductive heating. 23 Table 4_i 5 -8 > 10 - 34 summarizes vaporization procedures employed be fore metal atom chemistry investigations were begun for these metals.…”
