An experiment using a high-frequency torch plasmotron provides the size distribution spectrum of particles formed during evaporation and subsequent condensation of matter, in a simulation of the motion of an iron meteoric body through the earth's atmosphere. Particle size was determined using an impactor and the neutron-activation method. The mass spectrum of particles formed from evaporation of iron in a plasma jet follows a normal logarithmic distribution with a median diameter of 1.8 + or - 0.4 microns and standard deviation of 4.5 + or 0.2. A comparison is made with data obtained by other experimental methods.
