Notes:
Knudsen cell mass spectrometric measurements are reported on the composition of vapour over solid and fused NaI, CsI, HoI3, DyI3, (NaI + HoI3), (NaI + DyI3, (CsI + HoI3) and (CsI + DyI3 systems. For the determination of evaporation thermodynamics, the assignment of the essential ions to their neutral precursors was carried out by determining ionization efficiency curves. Due to the spread in electron energy, the linear extrapolation and vanishing current methods, which are generally used in high temperature mass spectrometry for evaluation of efficiency curves, could be used with limitations only. The analytical energy-distribution difference method was used to determine the fine structure of the ionization efficiency curves. The method uncovered relationships between the detected ions and neutral vapour-phase species, and served to determine thermodynamic data with improved precision.
