Faraday cylinder

The method does not directly measure the actual charge developed on the material as might be done using a Faraday cylinder instead it records only a voltage that is proportional to the voltage developed on the material. In that sense it is arbitrary and relative only. 

The discovery that jS-rays are deflected by a magnetic field was made simultaneously by GieseR with a polonium preparation, BecquereR with radium, and S. Meyer and E. R. von Schweidler with polonium and radium. (Pure polonium preparations emit only a-rays.) Attempts by BecquereR and P. Curie to deflect a-rays in a magnetic field showed that the effect was inappreciable. M. and Mme. Curie found that j8-rays carry a negative charge by collecting them in a metal Faraday cylinder. BecquereR by deflection in... 

The electrical component of adhesive force can be changed by heating the particles. The charges on mineral particles (referred to 1 g) after heating to 400°C and passing through a glass tube at 300°C (measurements performed in a Faraday cylinder connected to an electrometer) were determined in [129].

The device resembles a cylindrical differential mobility analyzer (DMA) in that a sample flow is introduced around the periphery of the annulus between two concentric cylinders, and charged particles migrate inward towards the inner cylinder in the presence of a radial electric field. Instead of being transmitted to an outlet flow, the sample is collected onto a Nichrome filament located on the inner cylinder. The primary benefit of this mode of size-resolved sampling, as opposed to aerodynamic separation into a vacuum, is that chemical ionization of the vapor molecules is feasible. Because there is no outlet aerosol flow, the collection efficiency is determined by desorption of the particles from the filament, chemical ionization of the vapor, separation in a mobility drift cell, and continuous measurement of the current produced when the ions impinge on a Faraday plate. 

The collection volume (0 = 12mm, length=100 mm) is made of an Aluminium cylinder arid connected to the main stainless capillary. It is placed in the middle of the He pressurized reaction chamber and He gas is fed through a temperature controled bubbler. Diffusion pump aerosols were mainly used in the experiments reported here. For monitoring of the beam, a Faraday cup fixed behind a 4 mg/cm2 Havar window was used. 

Unlike the case of the Faraday rotation isolator, even an elementary description of the operational principle of the circulator is not easy, involving as it does the dimensional resonance of the microwave field within the ferrite cylinder. In this context the word resonance does not signify gyromagnetic resonance but a standing-wave resonance determined by the dimensions of the...

Interactions between crossed cylinders of mica in air, uncoated or coated with fatty acid monolayers, are described in J. N. Israelachvili and D. Tabor, "The measurement of van der Waals dispersion forces in the range 1.5 to 130 nm," Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A, 331, 19-38 (1972). An excellent review of this and related work is given in J. N. Israelachvili and D. Tabor, Van der Waals Forces Theory and Experiment, Vol. 7 of Progress in Surface and Membrane Science Series (Academic Press, New York and London, 1973). Later reconciliation of theory and experiment required taking note of cylinder radius L. R. White, J. N. Israelachvili, and B. W. Ninham, "Dispersion interaction of crossed mica cylinders A reanalysis of the Israelachvili-Tabor experiments," J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 1, 72, 2526-36 (1976).

A Faraday cup is made of a metal cup or cylinder with a small orifice. It is connected to the ground through a resistor, as illustrated in Figure 3.1. Ions reach the inside of the cylinder and are neutralized by either accepting or donating electrons as they strike the walls. This leads to a current through the resistor. The discharge current is then amplified and detected. It provides a measure of ion abundance. 

Thin sections may readily be examined with TEM-EDXA or SEM-EDXA in the transmission mode (STEM-EDXA). However, to use conventional SEM-EDXA, some modifications of the equipment are required. As shown in Fig. 4.4.3, the electrons transmitted through a thin specimen impinge upon the carbon plate underneath. This causes the emission of a strong continuous spectrum of white X-rays. To minimize this problem, a carbon grid holder with a Faraday cup should be used. If the depth of the cylinder in the Faraday cup is more than 20 times the size of aperture, the electrons can be effectively collected (Grubb 1971, Howitt et al. 1976), thus reducing a large portion of the white X-rays emitted.
