Abstract
1. Experimental results In the preceding paper the application of a method for maintaining a very low steady pressure of oxygen to determine the nature of the complex adsorbed layer of this gas on tungsten has been described. We shall now discuss the use of the method to study the process of formation of the adsorbed film. In figure 1 the accommodation coefficient of neon is plotted as a function of the time. At the instant indicated by the arrow oxygen was admitted to the bulb B (see figure 1 of the preceding paper). It will be seen that at the beginning of the experiment, i.e. before the oxygen was admitted, the amount of impurity in the neon was so small that the drift was practically negligible. An idea of the sort of eonditions that are necessary for the drift to be negligible will be realized from the fact that the partial pressure of oxygen established at the wire in this particular experiment was only 2·3 x 10 -9 mm. of mercury. The gradient da/dt of this and similar curves was measured at various points, and in no case were measurements included for points less than 2 min. after the admission of the oxygen. Experimental and theoretical considerations indicate that by this time a steady pressure of oxygen was established at the wire.
