Course content
The discipline "Physics of vacuum and vacuum electronics" contains materials that describe the physical processes associated with the movement of charged particles in a vacuum, which underlie the operation of a number of electrovacuum devices, as well as materials that relate to modern methods of obtaining high/ultra high vacuum as with the help of traditional types of vacuum pumps and with the help of cryo-vacuum pumps. In addition, materials explaining the physical and technical principles of vacuum measurement, methods of measuring partial pressures in vacuum systems and methods of leak detection in vacuum systems are widely presented.
