Progress In The Development Of An Infrared Ion Beam Spectrometer
Outline • Why molecular ion beam • First generation SCRIBES instrument • Improvements • Development of the second generation SCRIBES • Prospects Sensitive Cold Resolved Ion BEam Spectrometer
High resolution spectroscopy • Fingerprint for molecular ions Δω depends on √1/Ufloat voltage Andrew Mills, WH02 at 2:05pm Why Use Molecular Ion Beam? • Why molecular ions • Astrochemistry • Combustion • Carbocation chemistry • Fundamental insterest • Why fast ion beam • Kinematic compression
First Generation SCRIBES Instrument Electron Multiplier • Modular • Low ion beam current • Overlap of the laser Anode • Development of TOF-MS Cathode Iris Pulser Plate Ion Optics Ringdown Mirrors InSb Ion Optics Drift Region Quadrupoles Modeled after Saykally’s instrument (Saykally et al. J. Chem. Phys.1989, 90 (8), 3893-3894)
Source Second Generation SCRIBES • Modular instrumentation • High ion beam current • Improved ion optics • Differential pumping
Anode Cathode Precursor gas Fused Silica Ion Sources • Considerations for the test application • High ion density • Fast ion beam without a big energy spread • Low maintenance • Supersonic source • Cold cathode discharge source • Rotationally cold ions • Continuous source • Modular
