34. The potassium metal was purchased in small sealed glass ampoules. An ampoule was placed into the scattering cell and broken; the scattering chamber was immediately evacuated and the cell heated to 300 °C for approximately 30 min to allow the pure metal to evaporate from behind the hydroxide surface layer. An obstruction of thermal contact by the glass ampoule, or contamination of the highly reactive hot K surface, could result in the metal vapor density in the cell being slightly lower than the tabulated value.
