Market: Students and researchers in space and high-vacuum technology and materials science. This handbook was originally prepared so that workers would not have to consult a great many sources to learn what procedures and materials were used to construct tubes and other evacuated devices. Even now, as space and high-vacuum research are yielding new information daily, much of the subject matter in this seminal work, such as properties of materials, are as cogent as they were in 1964 when the book was first published.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the American Vacuum Society, AIP is reprinting some publications on vacuum technology from the last four decades which continue to have significance in the field. These volumes make up the AVI Classics series.

Market: Scientists, engineers, and graduate students in vacuum technology. This volume presents numerous techniques developed in the early 1960s for the efficient construction of reliable vacuum seals, and provides critical insights into the design, construction, and assembly of vacuum systems. Extensively researched, this work covers a variety of sealing techniques and design concepts that remain as technologically relevant now as they were nearly three decades ago.

This work is based on von Engel's lectures to undergraduates at Oxford in the 1950s; however it is still relevant for practitioners in atomic physics, astro-physics, spectroscopy and semiconductors today.

This 1966 work is a compilation of some of the most important plasma physics articles published during the late 1950s and early 1960s. This source contains information on elastic-collision and charge-transfer cross sections, mobility and diffusion, electron attachment and detachment, and recombination. Numerous fundamental principles are presented in this handbook of the physical phenomena, measurements, and properties of plasma physics.

Market: Engineers, researchers, and students in vacuum science and materials science and designers and manufacturers of vacuum electronic devices in any field where glass, ceramics, refractory metals, and joining methods are used. The republication of this widely used handbook makes available again an invaluable source of fundamental information on the construction of vacuum devices and provides a complete rundown on the properties of basic materials used in vacuum tubes (glass, ceramics, mica, carbon, graphite, iron, steel, copper, nickel, precious metals, refractory metals, and all relevant...

Quadrupoles are dynamic mass analyzers with very complex behaviour. This book proceeds from an explanation of the action of radio frequency quadrupole fields to the description of their use in mass analyzers, the monopole, the 3-D quadrupole ion trap and various time-of-flight spectrometers.
