Anharmonic contributions in real RF linear quadrupole traps
نویسندگان
چکیده
The radiofrequency quadrupole linear ion trap is a widely used device in physics and chemistry. When used for trapping of large ion clouds, the presence of anharmonic terms in the radiofrequency potential limits the total number of stored ions. In this paper, we have studied the anharmonic content of the trapping potential for different implementations of a quadrupole trap, searching for the geometry best suited for the trapping of large ion clouds. This is done by calculating the potential of a real trap using SIMION8.0, followed by a fit, which allows us to obtain the evolution of anharmonic terms for a large part of the inner volume of the trap.

Instabilities of molecule motion in a linear ac trap
The stability of a linear ac trap for neutral polar molecules is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. While the overall stability is found to be well described by the linearized equations of motion within the usual framework of stability diagrams, instabilities similar to those observed in anharmonic radio-frequency ion traps occur inside the nominal stable regions. These motiona...

Every synchrotron accelerator requires a pre-injector for primary injection of the electrons into the booster ring. The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) pre-injector is a 150 MeV S-band linear accelerator with a thermionic cathode RF gun. The design of the pre-injector lattice and its beam dynamics calculation results together with the design of RF gun, alpha magnet, quadrupole magnets and ...
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 کاملAn interface with a linear quadrupole ion guide for an electrospray-ion trap mass spectrometer system.
A new ion sampling interface for an electrospray ionization 3D ion trap mass spectrometer system is described. The interface uses linear rf quadrupoles as ion guides and ion traps to enhance the performance of the 3D trap. Trapping ions in the linear quadrupoles is demonstrated to improve the duty cycle of the system. Dipolar excitation of ions trapped in a linear quadrupole is used to eject un...
متن کاملKosterlitz-Thouless Transition in RF Dressed Ultra-Cold Gases
Very low temperature dilute trapped atomic gases form a well known state, the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Recent work has made it possible to adiabatically transfer condensates from 3 dimensional traps into RF dressed traps that hold the atoms in a small region around a specific magnetic field. For a quadrupole magnetic trap, this results in an ”eggshell” potential, where atoms’ movement is...
