A novel effusion furnace for the production of As2 from As4 by combined thermal and catalytic cracking has been evaluated in a Varian GEN II molecular‐beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The furnace consists of two temperature zones with a one‐piece all‐tantalum combined crucible, delivery tube, and cracking zone. Ta baffles are inserted into the cracking zone. Thermal isolation of the ‘‘warm’’ sublimation zone and the ‘‘hot’’ cracking zone is achieved by water or liquid nitrogen cooling of the sublimation zone. With the cracking zone at 1500 °C and no power to the 200 cc capacity sublimator, the sublimation zone rises to only 75 °C. Cracking of As4 begins at about 750 °C and saturates at about 900 °C. The As flux stabilizes in about 1.25 h. Installation of the cracker furnace in a position previously used for the old As effusion furnace resulted in considerable outgassing due to the previous condensation of As and trapped impurities on the cryoshroud around the mouth of the old furnace. Soon after installation, g...
