β¦ Synopsis
A glow discharge (GD) ion source has been developed to work within the high magnetic field of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance @I'ICR) mass spectrometer. Characterization of this source revealed that the optimum operating voltage, pressure, and current are significantly lower than those for normal glow discharges. The sputter rate was lowered to 1/3Oth of that found with a normal glow discharge source operated external to the high magnetic field region. Operation of the GD source closer to the FTICR analyzer cell than with previous experimental designs resulted in improved ion transport efficiency. Preliminary results from this internal GD source have established detection limits in the low parts per million range for selected elemental species. (

To improve the existing ion transport optics of our glow discharge (GD)-Fourier transformion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer, we simulated several ion trajectories between the GD source region and the ICR analyzer cell. These calculations suggested that a number of simple improvements
Two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D FT) spectroscopy is applied to ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) to obtain direct evidence for mass transfer due to ion-molecule collisions. The 2D FI ICR experiment, which is closely analogous to 2D exchange NMR spectroscopy (NOESY), yields similar information to t
The experimental Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT/ICR) frequency range has been extended to 107 MHz. We report the observation of FT/ICR signals from electron-ionized species of mass-to-charge ratio 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 ΞΌ per elementary charge. We show that moderately high charge
