Adsorption
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface.

Barium
Barium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ba and atomic number 56.
Barium azide
Barium azide is an inorganic azide with the formula.
Barium oxide
Barium oxide, also known as baria, is a white hygroscopic non-flammable compound with the formula BaO.
Caesium
Caesium (IUPAC spelling; cesium in American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Cs and atomic number 55.
Calcium
Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.
Cathode-ray tube
A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen.
See Getter and Cathode-ray tube
Cobalt
Cobalt is a chemical element; it has symbol Co and atomic number 27.
Electronic oscillator
An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, powered by a direct current (DC) source.
See Getter and Electronic oscillator
Hermetic seal
A hermetic seal is any type of sealing that makes a given object airtight (preventing the passage of air, oxygen, or other gases).
High-intensity discharge lamp
High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube.
See Getter and High-intensity discharge lamp
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1.
Induction heating
Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold, silver, aluminum, or carbide.
See Getter and Induction heating
Inert gas
An inert gas is a gas that does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other chemical substances and therefore does not readily form chemical compounds.
Ion pump
An ion pump (also referred to as a sputter ion pump) is a type of vacuum pump which operates by sputtering a metal getter.
Ionization
Ionization (or ionisation specifically in Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand) is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.
Iridescence
Iridescence (also known as goniochromism) is the phenomenon of certain surfaces that appear gradually to change colour as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes.
Iron
Iron is a chemical element.
See Getter and Iron
ISM radio band
The ISM radio bands are portions of the radio spectrum reserved internationally for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) purposes, excluding applications in telecommunications.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a chemical element; it has symbol Mg and atomic number 12.
A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides (compounds of metals with bromine or iodine).
See Getter and Metal-halide lamp
Mischmetal (from Mischmetall – "mixed metal") is an alloy of rare-earth elements.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is a chemical element; it has symbol P and atomic number 15.
Semiconductor device fabrication
Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as computer processors, microcontrollers, and memory chips (such as NAND flash and DRAM).
See Getter and Semiconductor device fabrication
Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.
Sodium-vapor lamp
A sodium-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm.
See Getter and Sodium-vapor lamp
Strontium
Strontium is a chemical element; it has symbol Sr and atomic number 38.
Titanium sublimation pump
A titanium sublimation pump (TSP) is a type of vacuum pump used to remove residual gas in ultra-high vacuum systems, maintaining the vacuum.
See Getter and Titanium sublimation pump
Ultra-high vacuum
Ultra-high vacuum (often spelled ultrahigh in American English, UHV) is the vacuum regime characterised by pressures lower than about.
See Getter and Ultra-high vacuum
Vacuum
A vacuum (vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter.
Vacuum insulated panel
A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated.
See Getter and Vacuum insulated panel
Vacuum pump
A vacuum pump is a type of pump device that draws gas particles from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum.
Vacuum tube
A vacuum tube, electron tube, valve (British usage), or tube (North America) is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied. Getter and vacuum tube are vacuum tubes.
Vanadium
Vanadium is a chemical element; it has symbol V and atomic number 23.
Zirconium
Zirconium is a chemical element; it has symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
