Abstract
A new compact source of nitrogen atoms has been developed. The applica tion of an axial magnetic field provided by permanent magnets and up t o 200 W of 2.45 GHz microwave power has enabled a high degree of disso ciation to be achieved. Dissociation fractions ranging from 0.6 to 0.1 2 have been obtained with atom beam densities from 2 x 10(12) to 10 X 10(12) cm(-3) respectively.
