Discharge suppressor for glass tubes with neutral gas flow and for Pirani gauge tubes. (Germany) A simple device is described for preventing self-maintained discharges in glass tubes under high longitudinal electric fields without disturbing the neutral gas flow. The device essentially consists of a pair of grids at the respective anode and cathode voltage placed close together and inserted in the central region of the gas flow. The principle can also be used to protect Pirani w. J. s. gauges against strong glow discharges. (Germany) F. Karger, Vakuum Technik, 13 (5), June 1964,152-l 55.

The laser used for evaporation has a coherent light output of 5 Joules and contains a 90” ruby crystal and two xenon flash lamps. Attached to the laser is an aiming device by which the beam can be centred on the desired impact point of the specimen to be evaporated. The glass substrate is cooled by liquid helium and its temperature controlled between 2 “K and 77°K whilst the pressure of the system is of the order of 10-l” torr. This low pressure eliminates all gaseous impurities except helium and the laser beam eliminates the use of boats. As a result the system lends itself to all investigation when a high degree of purity is required, such as the study of tunneling effects between multiple thin films. It has been discovered that Bismuth films which are not normally superconducting become so when evaporated on a cool surface. (U.S.A.)
