heating_with_atmosphere(samples, setpoints, atmosphere, flow_rate=100)[source]

Annealing in the tube furnaces. You can select the atmosphere for heating. Four samples at a time for heating. The parameter setpoints is a list of [temperature, duration] pairs. The temperature is in °C and the duration is in minutes. The range of flow_rate should be between 0 and 1000.

Parameters
  • samples (List[Sample]) – the samples to heat

  • setpoints (List[List[int]]) – list of [temperature, duration], e.g., [[300, 60], [300, 7200]] means to heat up to 300°C in 60 min in and keep it at 300°C for 12 h.

  • atmosphere (Literal[‘Ar’, ‘N2’, ‘vacuum’]) – the gas atmosphere for the operation. You can choose between Ar, N2 and vacuum.

  • flow_rate (float) – the flow rate of the gas in the furnace.
