Abstract
The primary function of very high and ultrahigh vacuum equipment is to provide an environment that is superbly nonreactive: so neutral that molecular, electron and other submolecular beams can travel uninhibited; that chemically reactive metals can be heated to any temperature and be improved rather than degraded; that physiochemical reactions can be precisely controlled without contamination problems.Keywords
