“…RF ion traps encompass complex electric field shape which yields to complex ion motion. The paper of Li [187] reports on SIMION simulations that show classical chaotic behaviour of ions levitated in a toroidal ion trap. Fractal-like patterns were illustrated in a series of zoomed-in regions of the stability diagram.…”

“…RF ion traps are usually associated with complex electric field shape and sensibly intricate ion motion. Classical chaotic behavior of ions in a toroidal ion trap is explored in [187] by employing SIMION simulations. It is demonstrated that chaotic motion occurs due to the presence of nonlinear terms of the electric fields generated by the trap electrodes.…”

“…planar [408,412,423,464,465,474], and cylindrical (toroidal) setups [187,475,476,477,478,479] that exhibit the advantage of enhanced compactness, while being easier to design and machine [475]. Reduced power operation of a mass analyzer under conditions of minimum loss of spectral resolution and mass range is beneficial when discussing in terms of portability.…”

“…As already shown, an electrodynamic balance (EDB) represents a device used to levitate charged particles/droplets or ions, either in vacuum or under SATP conditions. Particular trap geometries such as ring shaped [137] and hyperboloidal shaped electrodes [9,55,193,573,574], segmented [82] and planar geometries [408,412,423,464,465,474], or even toroidal shaped electrodes [187,475,476,477,478,479] are employed to generate a quadrupole electric field. Use of EDBs has pushed forward the domain of mass spectrometry, while providing chemists and physicists an invaluable tool to explore microparticles and NPs and thus investigate their physico-chemical properties [457,548].…”

Charged (nano)particles confined in electrodynamic traps can evolve into strongly correlated Coulomb systems, which are the subject of current investigation. Exciting physical phenomena associated to Coulomb systems have been reported such as autowave generation, phase transitions, system self-locking at the ends of the linear Paul trap, self-organization in layers, or pattern formation and scaling. The dynamics of ordered structures consisting of highly nonideal similarly charged nanoparticles, with coupling parameter of the order Γ = 10 8 is investigated. This approach enables us to study the interaction of nanoparticle structures in presence and in absence of the neutralizing plasma background, as well as to investigate various types of phenomena and physical forces these structures experience. Applications of electrodynamic levitation for mass spectrometry, including containment and study of single aerosols and nanoparticles are reviewed, with an emphasis on state of the art experiments and techniques, as well as future trends. Late experimental data suggest that inelastic scattering can be successfully applied to the detection of biological particles such as pollen, bacteria, aerosols, traces of explosives or synthetic polymers.
