Use of a quadrupole mass filter for high energy resolution ion beam production

Abstract: We have found focusing/operating conditions that allow use of a commercial quadrupole mass filter for producing ion beams that simultaneously have high mass and kinetic energy resolution, and good transmission efficiency. Under proper conditions, our design perturbs the ion beam energy distribution by only ∼50 meV, while allowing mass resolution (M/ΔM)≥100, and net transmission of ∼50%. The critical factors are injection/collection lens design, an exit aperture which rejects ions that have been strongly pertur… Show more

“…The guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer used in these experiments has been described in detail previously 28,29 and only a brief summary is given here. Boron cluster ions are produced by laser ablation of isotopically pure 11 B ͑Eagle Pitcher, 98.6 at.%͒ inside a radio frequency ͑rf͒ trap.…”

“…This is insufficient to cleanly mass select the beam for the larger cluster sizes, and the experiments were repeated after replacing the Wien filter with a quadrupole mass filter equipped with injection/extraction optics optimized for production of beams with narrow kinetic energy distributions. 29 The absolute error in the cross section measurements is due primarily to possible differences in the collection efficiency for product and reactant ions. ͑The effective scattering cell length is calibrated using the well-studied reaction Ar ϩ ϩD 2 ϪDϩArD ϩ ͒.…”

“…S1, ESI †) arise from single scattering events, mostly involving atoms in the top-most layer of the sample. 38,71,72,[85][86][87] Because the samples all contain the same total number of Pt atoms, intensity variations with cluster size provide insight into morphology. If the clusters deposit as single layer thick islands, then all the Pt is in the top layer, resulting in maximum Pt ISS intensity.…”

“…The aperture was designed to minimize interaction of the collected ions with the strong fringe fields in the quadrupole-lens gap. 19 In addition, the collection lens set includes a split lens pair that was used to time-gate the ion pulse. The combination of controlled collection radius and time-gating allows us to produce a mass-selected beam with narrow kinetic energy spread (⌬EϷ0.1 eV).…”
