How it works

The ABI effusion cell relies on a cylindrical crucible with a self-heated beam-shaper insert on top. The insert is heated on the conical section and on the lip to prevent condensation, droplet formation, or cross contamination. The design is intended to keep the evaporation surface the same over time, and the insert is reusable. The ABI cell also provides independent temperature control of the insert filament.[1]
