Figure 2. Ionization efficiency curves for Dy+, Ho+, and Er+ ions. method. The experiments were carried out with a magnetic mass spectrometer described previously. 1 Optical spectra of rare earth atoms are complex and incompletely interpreted. 2 Gaseous rare earth atoms were produced either by heating the metal in a tantalum Knudsen cell or by re-duction of the various trifluorides and CaF2 with Gd or Ho in the same cell. As a typical example, the ioni-zation efficiency curve of Sm+ is compared with that of Hg+ ion from the background in Figure 1, curve I, or with Ca+ from CaF2 reduction in Figure 1, curve II, by using the semilog matching method, 3 4which con-sists of measuring the voltage shift requiredto match the initial portion of the ionization efficiency curve of the rare earth ion with that of the reference ion. With the known ionization potentials of Hg (10.43 ev) 2, 4 and that of Ca (6.11 ev), 2· 5 one obtains 5.56±0.10 ev for the ionization potential of Sm. This compares
