One of these has already been briefly discussed by Gaede twentyfive years ago. In principle, it is possible to construct a thermopump. The second application concerns throttling the p u m p o u t p u t by inserting freezing-out pockets on the intake side. This throttling c a n n o t be avoided in practice by making use of the K n u d s e n molecular pressure to compensate the pressure drop caused by the flow resistance. (Germany) H. Ebert and K. R.

12:22 113. Influence of diffusion on the measurement of low pressure with the McLeod vacuum gauge. (Great Britain) In a fundamental paper on the diffusion of gases in mercury vapour, Gaede concludes, amongst other things, that pressure measurements carried out with the McLeod gauge are too low if a cold trap has been inserted between the gauge and the recipient. In the following, Gaede's line of thought, as far as it concerns the above phenomenon, is reproduced and some experimental results of very recent date confirming his theory are given.
16 : 33 118. A method to determine the surface concentration of antimony and arsenic diffusing from the vapour phase into germanium in high vacuum. Relation between concentration and diffusion coefficient.
(France) The method employed is an extension of the indicator strip method of Fuller and Dunlop. The thickness of the strips was of the order of 500~ the penetration being estimated by changes in resistivity as explained in the work of Vales and Glang. Theory indicated that the diffusion coefficient depends on the concentration, especially for steep impurity gradients. In the case of antimony, calculated and experimental value are in good agreement. Reasons for discrepancies in the case of arsenic are given.
