Solution for potential charge distribution of orbitron ultrahigh vacuum gage
Argon ion bombardment and other surface cleaning methods evaluated on polycrystalline tungsten by work function techniques
Vacuum gage calibration by diffusing a known quantity of gas through a heated barrier into a gauge is examined. The gas flow raises the pressure in the gauge to known level and is then compared with the gauge's pressure reading.
The ionization gage described consists of separate ionization and collector regions connected at an exit area with a modulator electrode. In addition to the standard modulation function, the modulator in this location yields a suprising increase in collector current, apparently due to improved focussing and extraction of ions from the ionization region.
