Mercury Hg Evaporation Material 99.999% Pure ATOMFAIR®

This material is supplied as a sealed ampoule containing liquid mercury at 99.999% purity for low-temperature vacuum evaporation. Storage and handling must prevent ampoule rupture and mercury vapor release due to the material's acute toxicity and vapor pressure.

• Storage Environment: Store sealed ampoules in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to minimize mercury vapor pressure and prevent thermal stress on the glass.
• Ampoule Integrity: Inspect the ampoule for any visible cracks or damage before use, and discard if the seal is compromised.
• Vapor Containment: Use only with a dedicated low-temperature evaporation source equipped with a cold trap to condense and contain mercury vapor during deposition.
• Personal Protective Equipment: Handle mercury in a fume hood while wearing nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat to avoid skin contact and inhalation.
• Waste Disposal: Collect all mercury waste, including used ampoules and cold trap residues, in sealed containers for hazardous waste disposal.

This procedure describes the safe loading and evaporation of mercury from a sealed ampoule using a dedicated low-temperature source with cold trap. Follow each step precisely to prevent mercury vapor exposure and ensure film quality.

Required Equipment: Dedicated low-temperature evaporation source, Cold trap, Fume hood

1. Inspect Ampoule
   Inspect the sealed ampoule for any visible cracks or damage before loading into the evaporation source.
2. Transfer to Source
   Transfer the ampoule to the dedicated low-temperature evaporation source located inside a fume hood.
3. Activate Cold Trap
   Connect and activate the cold trap, ensuring it reaches the required temperature to condense mercury vapor.
4. Evacuate Chamber
   Evacuate the deposition chamber to the required vacuum level for low-temperature evaporation.
5. Heat Source
   Heat the evaporation source to the temperature appropriate for mercury based on its melting point of -39°C and vapor pressure characteristics.
6. Deposit Film
   Deposit the mercury film onto the substrate while monitoring the cold trap temperature and deposition rate.
7. Cool and Vent
   Allow the system to cool completely and safely vent the chamber before removing the substrate and disposing of the ampoule residue.

Mercury (Hg) evaporation material at 99.999% purity in sealed ampoule form, requiring dedicated low-temperature evaporation source with cold trap setup. Suitable for specialized thin-film deposition where high purity and controlled evaporation are critical.

Positive

• Ultra-high purity (99.999%): Reduces contamination risk in thin-film deposition, enabling reproducible film properties for research-grade applications.
• Sealed ampoule containment: Prevents oxidation and atmospheric exposure, maintaining material integrity and safe handling until deposition.

Trade-offs

• Dedicated cold trap and source required: Operates only with a dedicated sealed low-temperature source and cold trap setup, limiting compatibility with standard evaporation hardware.
• RFQ-only procurement process: Evaporation method is special low-temperature vacuum evaporation; RFQ only, adding lead time and requiring pre-quotation confirmation of source geometry and safety protocols.
