21 1168. Pumping speed of the turbo-molecular pump as function of the molecular weight. (Germany) Experiments with gases of different molecular weight have revealed that the pumping speed of the turbo-molecular pump decreases when the molecular weight rises. The reciprocal value of the pumping speed depends geometrically on the square root of the molecular weight. K Petzold and H Blank, Vukurrm-Technik, 15 (3), 1966,61, (in German). 21

1170. Considerations in the measurement of cryopumping capture coefficients. (USA) A survey is presented of the more important theoretical and practical relationships involved in the study of cryopumping. Starting with a rigorous definition of the capture coefficient, the effects of temperature on the measured values are derived. Several practical points in the design of a chamber for cryopumping measurements are given, including gauge placement, calibration, effect of outgassing and temperature measurements.

(USA) The cryopump, which provides high mass flow at low pressures, is considered as a technique to provide the high pumping speeds required for testing rocket motors. Some of the difficulties involved in cryopump design are discussed, and formulas for solving in various conditions are introduced. Also illustrated are the probability of both wall collision and direct back-reflectance for direct flow in tubular elements.

24 1176. Fast-acting ribbon-type electrodynamic valve.
A new fast-acting ribbon-type electrodynamic valve for admitting small quantities of gas to an evacuated chamber is described. Distinctive features include a rubber or similar valve seat reinforced by plastic material on the shutter side, and a shut-off device made in the form of a metal strip or ribbon encompassing the seat; sockets at the ends regulate the tension in the ribbon, and contacts are provided for connection to the condenser battery which operates the valve. In order to protect the ribbon from rupture, a ring-shaped metal support is provided, and in order to accelerate the return of the ribbon to its original position an additional condenser-battery circuit is arranged to create an appropriate electrodynamic force between the ribbon and its support.

1174. Reduced pressure system, protected against entry of air. A vacuum system is described, which is fitted with a safety valve with a predetermined shut-off device, which automatically closes whenever air enters the outer end of the container. The outer container is made of a series of 4-6 separate cylindrical vessels, interconnected by means of conical constrictions which reduce the flow of gases so that a robust safety valve with a shut-off time of several 100 set, is adequate to avoid leakage of air into the system.

Observations of calibrated epitaxial nickel films on (111) copper. (Netherlands) Nickel was evaporated in high vacuum from a calibrated source, one monolayer at a time, on a clean (111) copper single crystal substrate. Excellent order in arrangement of condensed nickel atoms with the same orientation as the substrate, but with the lattice spacing of Ni, was observed when the substrate was maintained at about 200°C during evaporation. Each successive monolayer grew epitaxially with respect to these layers immediately below it, always with the lattice spacing of nickel.

The valve allows periodic samples to be taken from a number of chambers through each of which gas is flowing. Two small-bore rubber tubes lead to the atmosphere and gas analyzer, respectively. J B Watkins and B C Peacock, Lab Practice, 14 (II), 1965, 1295.
