The Physical Basis of Ultrahigh Vacuum [Paperback]

Market: Those involved in the design and use of UHV component systems. Written 25 years ago, this book explains both the design and use of UHV systems and components, as well as the underlying physical principles on which the performance of the equipment depends. Because of its close association of these underlying physical principles with the practical problems inherent in UHV equipment, the book retains its value to this day.Contents: Molecule-Molecule and Molecule-Interactions. Collision Processes in Gases. Interaction of Charged Particles with Surfaces. Interaction of Radiation with Surfaces. Mechanical Properties of Materials at Very Low Pressures. General Considerations of Pressure Measurement. Total Pressure Gauges. Partial Pressure Gauges. Processing Techniques for Ultrahigh Vacuum. Pumps for Ultrahigh Vacuum.
