generation of coherent radiation by discharge obtained by cathode sputtering. (USSR)
Cathode sputtering is used for producing vapours of elements having a low vapour pressure. A discharge tube with a hollow cathode filled by helium at a pressure of I to 4 torr, is used. Continuous generation of coherent radiation in Zn and Cd vapours is observed. E K Karabut et al, Z/I Tekh Fiz. 39 (IO), Oci 196Y, lY23-1924 (in

The angular distribution of sputtering products from the (101) face of InSb single crystals, sputtcrcd by 70 keV argon ions, is experimentally investigated. Using activation analysis, it is shown that angular distribution of sputtering differs for In and Sb. On the basis of the experimental sputtering data, the structure of the InSb surface layer is analyzed. 0 I Kapusta and S Ya Lebedev, Fiz Tverd Tela, 11 (I’), Dee lY69, 3460-3462 (in Russian). 33

(USSR) The characteristic energy losses of electrons on electron bombardment of Y, Zr, Nb and MO in ultrahigh vacuum are measured bv means of ai electron spectrometer. It is found that the position of thk first loss peak does not depend on the angle of scattering. The relation between the characteristic energy losses and the surface and bulk plasma oscillations in the target is discussed. V V Zashkvara et al, Fiz Tverd Telu, 11 (12), Dee 1969, 3667-3669

The valve to bc tcstcd is conncctcd to a voltage source through an anode rcsistancc. and the cathode or filament to a source of single pulses, adjuslable in Icngth and cncrgy. The resultant signal (reprcscnting the emission current) is taken from the anode load and displayed on a low-frcqucncy oscillograph. The amplitude of the initial pulse is taken such that the working point 01 the cathode lies at the beginning of the working charactcrislic. The same principles may bc applied to electric light bulbs, cxccpt thaw in this case the light flux is measured instead of the emission current.

33 495. An ion source. (USSR) In order to improve the etficiency of conventional ion sources and prevent destruction of the electron source by the ions, a new construction with an anode and electron collector on one side of the cathode and an ion-optical system on the other is proposed. A highdensity electron beam from a hollow-cathode clcctron gun ionizes the sample, and the positive ions so formed are drawn into the electron beam, partly neutralizing its space charge. After drifting towards the cathode the ions are formed into a beam by the ionoptical system. The maximum ion current corresponds to that required to neutral& the space charge of the electron beam completely.

33 496. Device for fixing an object holder. (USSR) A device for fixing the object holder on the object table in an rlectron microscope is described. Instead of the conventional heavy bolts, this device comprises a system of light clamps situated at various points around the fixing plate. The clamps are of the spring-loaded U-shaped type and press evenly on the fixing plate situated on the object table: they may be moved by operating a simple lever system. The system ensures firm fixing of the object even when the table is tilted; it also allows easy access to the object for intermediate processing in situ.

This instrument differs from conventional types in that, in order to reduce the evacuated space and simplify the mechanism, the collector electrode is scanned instead of the beam itself. Scanning of the electrode is effected by means of a complex lever mechanism facilitating axial and rotational motion. The analyzer incorporates an electronic recording mechanism (cathode-ray tube) for recording the motion of the collector over the beam, and also a special drive used to select particular regions of the latter for detaileh examination.

An improved method of degassing the glass bulbs of electronic apparatus is described. After initially evacuating the bulb to 5 :. lo-$ torr the bulb is filled with an inert gas such as argon at a pressure of a few torr and a glow discharge is initiated, the pressure gradually falling until the glow is extinguished. The current used is IO-30 mA. Degassing takes-place as a r&t of interaction between the plasma and the glass surface. The active gases desorbed from the glass and fittings contaminate the gas used for filling; the operation may accordingly have to be repeated. The whole process takes IO min as against 1 hour by conventional techniques. In some cases efficiency may be improved by the incorporation of a sorption pump.
