Pump principle:
The vacuum gas diffuses into the jet and gets kicked by the oil molecules imprinting a downward momentum
The oil jets produces a skirt which separate the inlet from the outlet

T = RT
NEGs pump most of the gas except rare gases and methane at room temperature
Native oxide layer-> no pumping Pumping
Getters are materials capable of chemically adsorbing gas molecules. To do so their surface must be clean. For Non-Evaporable Getters a clean surface is obtained by heating to a temperature high enough to dissolve the native oxide layer into the bulk.

energy carrier: noble gas ions
substrate to coat: vacuum chamber target material: NEG (cathode) driving force: electrostatic
Choice of the coating technique for thin film: sputtering
NEG composition
The trend in vacuum technology consists in moving the pump progressively closer to the vacuum chamber wall.
The ultimate step of this process consists of transforming the vacuum chamber from a gas source into a pump.
One way to do this is by “ex-situ” coating the vacuum chamber with a NEG thin film that will be activated during the “in situ” bakeout of the vacuum system.

Stability of motionhorizontal vertical
q=0, a>0 unstable stable
q=0, a<0 stable unstable
The presence of the term q, changes the stability condition
Development of stable motion
The ion motion can be stable or unstable
Stable or unstable motion is referred to a channel which is infinitely long, but typically a length correspondent to 100 linear oscillation is considered enough
Example:For N2 at Ek = 10 eV vs = 8301 m/s
For a length of L = 100 mm 100 rf oscillation f = 8.3 MHz
typically f ~ 2 MHz
