Abstract: The disclosure includes an ionization chamber, a first electron multiplier, and a second electron multiplier. The ionization chamber is configured to receive gas molecules from an environment at a pressure. The first electron multiplier is configured to receive a plurality of photons from a photon source, generate a first plurality of electrons from the plurality of photons, and discharge the first plurality of electrons into the ionization chamber to generate a plurality of gas ions from at least a portion of the gas molecules. The second electron multiplier is configured to receive the plurality of gas ions from the ionization chamber and generate a second plurality of electrons from the plurality of gas ions that is proportional to a quantity of the plurality of gas ions. A quantity of electrons of the second plurality of electrons is indicative of the pressure.

Abstract: An ion detection device has a strip of carbon-based nanomaterial (CNM) film and a chamber enclosing the CNM film. A low bias voltage is applied at the ends of the CNM film strip, and ions present in the chamber are detected by a change in the magnitude of current flowing through the CNM film under the bias. Also provided are methods for fabricating the device, methods for measuring pressure of a gas, and methods for monitoring or quantifying an ionizing radiation using the device.

Abstract: An ionization gauge to measure pressure, while controlling the location of deposits resulting from sputtering when operating at high pressure, includes at least one electron source that emits electrons, and an anode that defines an ionization volume. The ionization gauge also includes a collector electrode that collects ions formed by collisions between the electrons and gas molecules and atoms in the ionization volume, to provide a gas pressure output. The electron source can be positioned at an end of the ionization volume, such that the exposure of the electron source to atom flux sputtered off the collector electrode and envelope surface is minimized. Alternatively, the ionization gauge can include a first shade outside of the ionization volume, the first shade being located between the electron source and the collector electrode, and, optionally, a second shade between the envelope and the electron source, such that atoms sputtered off the envelope are inhibited from depositing on the electron source.

Abstract: An ionization gauge that measures pressure has an electron source that emits electrons, and an anode that defines an ionization space. The gauge also includes a collector electrode to collect ions formed by an impact between the electrons and a gas and to measure pressure based on the collected ions. The electron source is dynamically varied in emission current between a plurality of emission levels dependent on pressure and a second parameter other than pressure. The ionization gauge may also vary various operating parameters of the gauge components according to parameters stored in a non-volatile memory and selected by a user.
