Changing the acceleration potential or the electrode frequency allows to vary the mass to be detected. From computer simulations ion currents of several lOOnA up to IpA are expected for pure gases and a resolution of m/Am=18 for a separator of 2mm in length and the electrode dimensions as mentioned. Furthermore calculations show that the resolution is limited rather by geometry and available electrode frequency than by thermal motion of the ions. With respect to the mean free path a pressure in the separator below 4Pa will enable a collision free trajectory.

Potential difference created between potential electrodes is amplified in DA (80 dB). CA is used to bring dynamic range of the signal into line with ADT, and to eliminate high frequency interference. 

Figure Bl.7.18. (a) Schematic diagram of the trapping cell in an ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer excitation plates (E) detector plates (D) trapping plates (T). (b) The magnetron motion due to tire crossing of the magnetic and electric trapping fields is superimposed on the circular cyclotron motion aj taken up by the ions in the magnetic field. Excitation of the cyclotron frequency results in an image current being detected by the detector electrodes which can be Fourier transfonned into a secular frequency related to the m/z ratio of the trapped ion(s).

Two major sources of ultrasound are employed, namely ultrasonic baths and ultrasonic immersion hom probes [79, 71]- The fonuer consists of fixed-frequency transducers beneath the exterior of the bath unit filled with water in which the electrochemical cell is then fixed. Alternatively, the metal bath is coated and directly employed as electrochemical cell, but m both cases the results strongly depend on the position and design of the set-up. The ultrasonic horn transducer, on the other hand, is a transducer provided with an electrically conducting tip (often Ti6A14V), which is inuuersed in a three-electrode thenuostatted cell to a depth of 1-2 cm directly facing the electrode surface. 

The ultrasound intensity and the distance between the hom and the electrode may be varied at a fixed frequency, typically of 20 kHz. This cell set-up enables reproducible results to be obtained due to the fonuation of a macroscopic jet of liquid, known as acoustic streaming, which is the main physical factor in detenuinmg tire magnitude of the observed current. 

Electromagnetic flow meters ate avadable with various liner and electrode materials. Liner and electrode selection is governed by the corrosion characteristics of the Hquid. Eor corrosive chemicals, fluoropolymer or ceramic liners and noble metal electrodes are commonly used polyurethane or mbber and stainless steel electrodes are often used for abrasive slurries. Some fluids tend to form an insulating coating on the electrodes introducing errors or loss of signal. To overcome this problem, specially shaped electrodes are avadable that extend into the flow stream and tend to self-clean. In another approach, the electrodes are periodically vibrated at ultrasonic frequencies. 

Ideally a standard cell is constmcted simply and is characterized by a high constancy of emf, a low temperature coefficient of emf, and an emf close to one volt. The Weston cell, which uses a standard cadmium sulfate electrolyte and electrodes of cadmium amalgam and a paste of mercury and mercurous sulfate, essentially meets these conditions. The voltage of the cell is 1.0183 V at 20°C. The a-c Josephson effect, which relates the frequency of a superconducting oscillator to the potential difference between two superconducting components, is used by NIST to maintain the unit of emf. The definition of the volt, however, remains as the Q/A derivation described. 

The optoelectronic properties of the i -Si H films depend on many deposition parameters such as the pressure of the gas, flow rate, substrate temperature, power dissipation in the plasma, excitation frequency, anode—cathode distance, gas composition, and electrode configuration. Deposition conditions that are generally employed to produce device-quahty hydrogenated amorphous Si (i -SiH) are as follows gas composition = 100% SiH flow rate is high, --- dO cm pressure is low, 26—80 Pa (200—600 mtorr) deposition temperature = 250° C radio-frequency power is low, <25 mW/cm and the anode—cathode distance is 1-4 cm.
