Amatara ya Neon, izina ryumvikana nkubusizi, mubyukuri ni isoko yumucyo itanga urumuri ukoresheje imyuka ya inert. Bikunze kugaragara cyane ni neon (Ne), aho ikura izina ryayo, ariko amatara ya neon arashobora rwose gukorwa mubyuka byinshi bya inert.
Amateka y’amatara ya neon yatangiriye mu mpera z'ikinyejana cya 19, yahimbwe n'umuhanga mu by'imiti mu Bufaransa, Georges Claude. Ku ikubitiro, zakoreshwaga cyane ku byapa byubucuruzi hamwe n’ahantu nyaburanga kubera ko byashoboraga kwerekana inyandiko n'ibishushanyo bifite umucyo mwinshi cyane n'amabara meza. Muri iki gihe, amatara ya neon ntabwo ari ibihangano byingenzi nubushakashatsi gusa ahubwo akoreshwa mubihe bitandukanye, nko kwerekana ibyiciro, imitako, no kwamamaza mubucuruzi.
None, kuki amatara ya neon asohora amabara atandukanye yumucyo? Ni ukubera ko bashobora gukoresha ubwoko butandukanye bwa gaze ya inert hamwe na fluorescent. Iyo amashanyarazi anyuze muri gaze mumucyo wa neon, molekile ya gaze irishima, ikabyara fluorescence. Imyuka itandukanye itanga amabara atandukanye. Kurugero, neon (Ne) itanga urumuri rutukura, argon (Ar) itanga urumuri rwubururu, helium (He) itanga urumuri rwumuhondo, naho uruvange rwa argon na neon rutanga urumuri rwa orange. Byongeye kandi, amatara ya neon arashobora gutanga amabara atandukanye ukoresheje ubwoko butandukanye bwa fluorescent. Ipitingi ya fluorescente isanzwe ikoreshwa kurukuta rwimbere cyangwa igikonoshwa cyo hanze cyurumuri rwa neon; iyo urumuri runyuze muri coating, rugaragarira kandi rugatatana, bityo rukerekana amabara atandukanye.
Kubwibyo, amatara ya neon arashobora kugera kumabara atandukanye muguhitamo imyuka itandukanye hamwe na fluorescent coatings, niyo mpamvu amatara ya neon asohora amabara atandukanye. Byakoreshejwe kumurika ibidukikije, kumurika, cyangwa impano zabigenewe, amatara ya neon nisoko rishimishije kandi ritandukanye.
