Study of the CdS crystal evaporation kinetics by laser step atomic photoionization

Laser resonant multistep atomic photoionization is employed to measure evaporation rates and saturated vapor pressures of cadmium sulfide and pure cadmium in temperature ranges of 585–950 and 350–535 K, respectively. It is shown that CdS thermally dissociates into Cd atoms and S2 molecules. The photoionization of cadmium atoms follows the scheme $$5s^1 S_0 \xrightarrow{{\lambda _1 = 326.1nm}}5p^3 P_1 \xrightarrow{{\lambda _2 = 479.9nm}}6s^3 S_1 \xrightarrow{{\lambda _3 = 488.1nm}}17p^3 P_2 + (\varepsilon = 12kV/cm) \to Cd^ + + e^ - .$$ . The minimal pressure of pure cadmium is found to be 10−11 mm Hg.
