In connection with a research on the sorption properties of aluminium oxide films, a number of experiments were carried out to obtain an ultra-high vacuum in a low temperature (rubbersealed) system. The standard installation used (VA-05-1) was provided with liquid nitrogen and helium traps and was fitted with a magneto-ionization gauge VIM. A standard ionization gauge (LM-2) was used for calibration purposes. A vacuum of the order of 10 -8 tort (as recorded on VIM) could be obtained after about three hours of pumping (flow rate 10-2mm3/sec). By replacing the VIM with a special" cold " manometer, parts of which were cooled with liquid helium, a final pressure of the order of 10 -22 tort could be reached due to increased pumping action.

Interaction of Oxygen with (110) Nickel. (U.S.A.) The authors conclude that oxygen readily penetrates into the nickel lattice, occupying substitutional sites leading to oxygennickel structures of increasing O content till saturation is reached. (NiO rocksalt structure). By heating the oxide covered crystal in vacuum, some of the intermediate structures can be observed in the reverse order. (U.S.A.)

Measurement of Low Pressures
12:22 1066. Mechanical McLeod gauge for accurate measurement of pressure in the 5/~-500tz range. (U.S.A.) By controlling the pressure of the test gas, the authors are able to extend the pressure range of a Decker gauge from its normal value of 30t~-600tL to 5tz-500tL. J. T. Park, Rev. Sci.

(Italy) The adsorption of hydrogen on previously adsorbed layers of nitrogen or argon at 4 ° K was studied. It appears that the cryotrapping starts at a lower pressure than the vapour pressure at 4°K.
