Planar Electrode Quadrupole Ion Traps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a linear type ion trap consisting of metal lines that are lithographically patterned onto two ceramic substrates. Trapping fields are realized by applying specific voltage potentials to each line. This arrangement allows miniaturization approaches that are immune to surface roughness issues and increased complexities of precision machining of electrode surfaces. We also present how these traps allow a thorough study of higher order multipoles and their effect on mass analyzer performance.

Stylus ion trap for enhanced access and sensing
Small, controllable, highly accessible quantum systems can serve as probes at the single-quantum level to study a number of physical effects, for example in quantum optics or for electricand magnetic-field sensing. The applicability of trapped atomic ions as probes is highly dependent on the measurement situation at hand and thus calls for specialized traps. Previous approaches for ion traps wi...
متن کاملIon Sponge: A 3-Dimentional Array of Quadrupole Ion Traps for Trapping and Mass-Selectively Processing Ions in Gas Phase
In this study, the concept of ion sponge has been explored for developing 3D arrays of large numbers of ion traps but with simple configurations. An ion sponge device with 484 trapping units in a volume of 10 × 10 × 3.2 cm has been constructed by simply stacking 9 meshes together. A single rf was used for trapping ions and mass-selective ion processing. The ion sponge provides a large trapping ...
متن کاملPlanar Ion Trap Geometry for Microfabrication
We describe a novel high aspect ratio radiofrequency linear ion trap geometry that is amenable to modern microfabrication techniques. The ion trap electrode structure consists of a pair of stacked conducting cantilevers resulting in confining fields that take the form of fringe fields from parallel plate capacitors. The confining potentials are modeled both analytically and numerically. This io...
متن کاملA microfabricated dielectrophoretic trapping array for cell-based biological assays
This thesis presents the development of a small planar array of microfabricated traps for holding single cells and performing assays on them. The traps use the phenomenon of dielectrophoresis—the force on polarizable bodies in a non-uniform electric field—to make potential energy wells. These potential energy wells are electrically switchable, arrayable, and amenable to batch fabrication. The t...
متن کاملNovel ion traps using planar resistive electrodes: implications for miniaturized mass analyzers.
In radiofrequency ion traps, electric fields are produced by applying time-varying potentials between machined metal electrodes. The electrode shape constitutes a boundary condition and defines the field shape. This paper presents a new approach to making ion traps in which the electrodes consist of two ceramic discs, the facing surfaces of which are lithographically imprinted with sets of conc...
