Abstract:
A hemispherical energy analyzer was constructed by using a novel approach to control the fringing electrostatic field. It provides several properties useful in ion spectrometers: namely, rather simple fabrication and compact size, high transmission efficiency at moderate resolution, and the capability to adjust resolution by changing the intersphere potentials. A computer program was developed to evaluate ion trajectories through the hemispherical analyzer. Data obtained from the trajectories were used to predict the characteristics of the analyzer. Experiments performed to determine the kinetic energy dependence of the absolute transmission and the resolution functions are in accord with theoretical calculations.
