Rotating disk diluter hyphenated with single particle ICP-MS as an online dilution and sampling platform for metallic nanoparticles characterization in ambient aerosol
Christian Ludwig, Andrea Testino, Tianyu Cen
The application of single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) for online metallic nanoparticles (NPs) characterization in ambient aerosol remains a challenge. In this study, a hyphenated setup consisting of a rotating disk dilu ...
2023New Developments in Amorphous Silicon Based Microchannel Plates
Christophe Ballif, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Samira Alexandra Frey, Mohammad Beygi
Microchannel plates fabricated from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (AMCPs) are a promising alternative to conventional glass microchannel plates. Their main advantages lie in their flexible fabrication processes, allowing for adaptable channel shapes and t ...
2023Microwave plasma-assisted reactive HiPIMS of InN films: Plasma environment and material characterisation
Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Johann Michler, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Caroline Hain, Thomas Nelis
This work focuses on the low temperature fabrication process of InN thin films via microwave plasma-assisted reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering (MAR-HiPIMS). The influence of microwave plasma on the HiPIMS discharge process at various nitroge ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2022Fragment ion-functional group relationships in organic aerosols using aerosol mass spectrometry and mid-infrared spectroscopy
Satoshi Takahama, Imad El Haddad, Nikunj Dudani, Amir Yazdani
Aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS) and mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR) are two analytical methods for characterizing the chemical composition of OM. While AMS provides high-temporal-resolution bulk measurements, the extensive fragmentation during the electron ...
European Geosciences Union2022Constraining the response factors of an extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometer for near-molecular aerosol speciation
Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Yandong Tong
Online characterization of aerosol composition at the near-molecular level is key to understanding chemical reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and sources under various atmospheric conditions. The recently developed extractive electrospray ionization time-of-f ...
2021Detection of trace metals in biogas using extractive electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry
Christian Ludwig, Mohamed Tarik
On-line measurements of metal emissions in energy conversion systems at very low concentrations are difficult to perform using existing techniques. Metals are of high importance due to their detrimental impact on human health, the environment and various i ...
2021Charging and ion ejection dynamics of large helium nanodroplets exposed to intense femtosecond soft X-ray pulses
Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Daniela Rupp
Ion ejection from charged helium nanodroplets exposed to intense femtosecond soft X-ray pulses is studied by single-pulse ion time-of-flight (TOF) spectroscopy in coincidence with small-angle X-ray scattering. Scattering images encode the droplet size and ...
