Increase of Ti film resistance due to the sorption of Ar ions was studied. This change reaches a maximum of about 1,5 per cent for Ar ion energies 2-3 keV. (USSR) G F Ivanovsky and T D Radzhabov, 1271-1273, (in Russian).

The sorptions of Hz and 0, on freshly prepared and on gas-treated Cd0 were measured from 0-250°C. The data suggest that H, chemisorption predominates near 26”, where it is the precursor of water formed on the surface. MJDLowandAMKamel,

16 1231. The processes involved in the adsorption of oxygen on brown coal char. (USA)
Experimental evidence is found to suggest two concurrent adsorption processes: (a) a reversible adsorption process which rapidly achieves equilibrium coverage; the adsorbed oxygen can be desorbed by evacuation, and (b) a continuous irreversible adsorption whose rate decreased over the experimental period. D J Allardice, Carbon, 3 (2), 1965, 214-218. 16:22 1232. Experimental device for ion sorption studies. (Rumania) A new type of ion sorption tube is described. The tube was built for the study of the temperature dependance of the ion pumping action. In the tube constructed for this study the region where the electrons are generated is distinct from that where the ions are produced. The ions are accelerated towards the glass wall, whose temperature is stabilized by means of a thermostat. The glowing filament is remote and screened from the region where the accelerating grid is placed. The construction permits highly accurate determination and control of the temperature of the adsorbing glass wall. Preliminary results, showing the existence of a discrete spectrum of adsorption sites on glass, are presented. A Cavaleru, (in English).

Present-day ‘terminblogy of different types of glow discharge is discussed and it is proposed to divide the glow discharge at a left branch of Paschen’s curve into 3 tvues: “simule”, “normal” and “high density”. This new classificat&i is analised ‘in detail. As an experimental basis for this discussion detailed measurements of discharges in Hz, N,, Ne and Ar at voltages up to 30 kV, currents in the range lo+’ to 10 A and pressures 2.5 x 10m2to 15 torr are presented.

The ability of a sorbent to produce high vacuum depends upon the accessible area it presents and upon the affinity it shows for the gases which are to he removed. There are various sorberts of high area which in certain cases can be relatively selective. Specificity of a given sorbent can also be modified by chemical treatments or by cation exchange and by decationization. R M Barrer, J Colloidand

The surface diffusion of He, Ne, HZ, Ar, OS, Ne and CO, through Vycor microporous glass was analyzed theoretically and experimentally in the low pressure range as a function of temperature. A statistical-mechanical treatment was carried out in terms of partition functions to derive a general equilibrium of surface flow. S Hwang and K Kammermeyer, Can J Chem Eng, 44, April 1966, 1228.

Conditions of a discharge arcing were calculated as the first approximation of Townsend’s theory. By this method the striking function H=f(V3 was calculated and verified by some experiments at pressures lo+ to lo-’ torr. The influence of the electrode degassing was also studied. (USSR).

This paper contains a description of following mechanism, initiating vacuum breakdown: high voltage affects the desorption from the electrode surface and high gradient in this cloud of neutral molecules and ions initiates the breakdown. The classification of different initiating mechanisms in various conditions is also discussed. (USSR) L V Tarasova, Dokl Akad 330-333, (in Russian).

18 in vacuum.
Targets of aluminium, steel, magnesium, copper, gold and lead were bombarded by ions of hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, xenon and mercury and the electron emission measured. The ions, with energies ranging from 10 to 140 kV, were produced by ionization of the residual gas in the anode electrode and emerged through a small opening into an essentially uniform accelerating field. The electron emission rose rapidly with ion energy, initially, followed by a slow linear increase. Emission ratio varied from 2 to 20 and was maximum for nitrogen ions on steel. No simple dependence on the nature of the ion or on the bombarded metal was observed. The significance of the data with respect to the electron-ion interaction theory of high voltage breakdown in vacuum is discussed.
