Study on particle size dependence of axial trapping efficiency
Applied Optics
|May 14, 2015
Abstract:
An optical tweezers system using laser beams with a Gaussian intensity profile and doughnut intensity profiles made by hollow core optical fiber and axicon lenses, respectively, was constructed. The axial trapping efficiencies for the three intensity profiles were measured and compared with each other. The particle size dependence of axial trapping efficiencies in the range of the particle diameter from 1 to 20 μm were analyzed by using the modified ray optics model [Appl. Opt.33, 1735 (1994)].

Mass Analyzers: Common Types
2.0K
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

Column Efficiency: Rate Theory

The rate theory of chromatography provides quantitative insight into the shapes and widths of elution bands. These bands are based on the random-walk mechanism governing molecular migration within a column. The Gaussian profile of chromatographic bands arises from the cumulative effect of random molecular motions as they progress through the column.
