Spectroscopic characterisation of TCV divertor towards a detached regime
The challenge of power exhaust of the high heat and particle fluxes foreseen for ITER and the forthcoming nuclear fusion reactors can be mitigated by operating in a detached divertor regime.This regime has been the object of three decades of studies, as it ...
EPFL2023Gentle nano-electrospray ion source for reliable and efficient generation of microsolvated ions
Vladimir Kopysov, Andrei Zviagin
We present herein the design of a nano-electrospray ion source capable of reliable generation of large quantities of microsolvated ions. The source is based on a triple molecular skimmer scheme and can be quickly tuned to generate bare ions or their ionic ...
AIP Publishing2022Diurnal evolution of negative atmospheric ions above the boreal forest: from ground level to the free troposphere
At SMEAR II research station in Hyytiala, located in the Finnish boreal forest, the process of new particle formation and the role of ions has been investigated for almost 20 years near the ground and at canopy level. However, above SMEAR II, the vertical ...

Franz-Josef Haug, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Philippe Wyss, Mario Joe Lehmann
This study evaluates the secondary electron (SE) dopant contrast in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and helium ion microscopy (HIM) on boron implanted silicon sample. Complementary techniques like secondary ion mass spectrometry and electrochemical capa ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Nonlinear kinetic simulation study of the ion-ion streaming instability in single- and multi-ion species plasmas
The nonlinear evolution of the ion-ion streaming instability (IISI) is studied using numerical techniques novel to this problem that afford direct insight into the evolution of the particle distributions of each species. During the linear phase of the inst ...
AMER INST PHYSICS2021Time-resolved formation of excited atomic and molecular states in XUV-induced nanoplasmas in ammonia clusters
Marcel Drabbels, Andrew Daniel Bonnar Clark
High intensity XUV radiation from a free-electron laser (FEL) was used to create a nanoplasma inside ammonia clusters with the intent of studying the resulting electron-ion interactions and their interplay with plasma evolution. In a plasma-like state, ele ...

A method of analyzing molecules enabling chemical, structural and isomeric or conformational identification of the molecules, particularly in a stream from a chromatographic separation, comprising: generating ions from a sample of molecules to be analyzed; ...
2016Novel Approaches in Cold Ion Spectroscopy for Structural Characterization of Biomolecules in the Gas Phase
Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique, which has become invaluable across a wide range of scientific fields, such as "omics" sciences (e.g., proteomics), doping control and forensic sciences, drug development, environmental analysis, geologi ...
EPFL2016On the use of electron capture rate constants to describe electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry of peptides
Yury Tsybin, Konstantin Zhurov, Aleksey Vorobyev, Unige Anna Laskay
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a powerful analytical tool for peptide and protein structure analysis. The product ion abundance (PIA) distribution in ECD MS/MS is known to vary as a function of electron irradiation ...
Im Publications2015Time-dependent frequency of ion motion in Fourier transform mass spectrometry
Recent experimental and theoretical findings suggest that the concept of time-dependent instantaneous frequency(IF) is required to comprehensively describe ion motion and mass spectra generation in Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). Here, we deriv ...
