Popis: A source that is compact, durable and mounts on a standard ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) flange has been developed for the generation of hyperthermal oxygen atoms. In this source oxygen atoms permeate through an Ag membrane held at 500 o C and are then emitted toward the target from the vacuum side of the membrane by electro-stimulated desorption. The current prototype model generate useable O-atom fluxes of ∼ 10 12 atoms cm -2 s -1 , and future modifications should increase this flux by 1-3 orders of magnitude
