24 The gas control system Pressure controller Gas reservoir RGA Leak valve Transducer Thermocouple Vacuum system 4.
25 Experiment Two uranium samples were prepared, one a fine powder, the other a polished coupon. Using the pressure controller, a 1:1 gas mix of H 2 18 O ( *O in figures) vapour and 16 O 2 ( O in figures) was made and scanned with the RGA. This is then opened to the reaction cells (final reaction gas pressure 9.3 mbar H 2 O & 10.9 mbar O 2 ) The leak valve set to open to 1 x 10-7 mbar every 5 minutes for the duration of the experiment. When all the reactive gas has been consumed the uranium coupon is then transferred into the SIMS for depth profiling. The surface area of the powder is measured using BET Both powder and coupon are then imaged using the focused ion beam.
