A molecular beam source used for the production of excited and ionized clusters of Cs and other materials is described. This source is closed, with the emitting graphite foil as an integral part of the source enclosure. The foil is kept at 1100–1500 K by radiation heating. From the foil, excited clusters (Cs)*n with broad distributions of n, and excited Rydberg atoms Cs* are emitted. These highly excited states can be field ionized at field strengths of less than 400 V/cm. At a Cs reservoir temperature of 400 K, total field ionized flux densities up to 1015 ions cm−2 s−1 (3×10−4 A cm−2) are found.
