Abstract
The velocity of gadolinium(Gd) atomic vapor vaporized by an electron beam was measured by a microbalance. The velocity of about 900 ㎧ was obtained at an evaporation surface temperature of 2400-2500 K. The measured value was approximately 100 ㎧ faster than the maximum velocity of an ideal monatomic gas in an adiabatic expansion. This phenomenon can be explained that the internal energy of Gd atoms populated in higher excited levels at the high temperature should be convened to kinetic energy during adiabatic expansion. The calculated velocity agrees with the measured one when 100 excited energy levels are included in an enthalpy term for the velocity calculation. The characteristics of vapor flow as a function of heated surface temperature are also reported.
