TL;DR: In this article, an ion source in which an apertured or foraminous electrode having a multiplicity of openings is spaced from one or more active surfaces of an ionisation electrode, the active surfaces comprising a material capable of ionising by contact ionization a substance to be ionized supplied during operation to the active surface or surfaces comprises means for producing during operation a magnetic field which enables a stable plasma to be formed in the space between the ion source and the anion.
Abstract: An ion source in which an apertured or foraminous electrode having a multiplicity of openings is spaced from one or more active surfaces of an ionisation electrode, the active surfaces comprising a material capable of ionising by contact ionization a substance to be ionized supplied during operation to the active surface or surfaces comprises means for producing during operation a magnetic field which enables a stable plasma to be formed in the space between the active surface or surfaces and the apertured electrode, the field strength of the magnetic field being preferably in the range between 2 and 8 kilogauss.

TL;DR: In this paper, a noncollinear surface-wave mixing on [111]-cut bismuth-germanium oxide can be used to realize an active, switchable directional coupler.
Abstract: We report experimental results which show that noncollinear surface-wave mixing on [111]-cut bismuth-germanium oxide can be used to realise an active, switchable directional coupler. For low-level inputs, the coupling is enhanced by as much as 20 dB by a semiconductor placed over the interaction region. The directivity is found to be greater than 40 dB.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of forming an active surface on a solid, e.g. for use of the solid as an adsorbent, catalyst carrier or contact or reactant catalyst, comprising adding a mixture of binders to a solution or suspension of an activatable substance (reactant), the binder mixture containing water-insoluble synthetic-resin substances which can be swelled by water only to a limited extent.
