Article Synopsis
- The study discusses the development and evaluation of rubidium vapor dispensers made from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) intercalated with rubidium.
- These IHOPG dispensers outperform traditional chromate salt dispensers by holding significantly more rubidium, using less heating power, and producing fewer impurities.
- The findings indicate that IHOPG can remain stable for over ninety minutes when exposed to air and hint at the possibility of creating similar dispensers using other alkali metals like cesium, potassium, and lithium.
