Makarov, Alexander

The Orbitrap. The Orbitrap analyzer, [26] invented by Alexander Makarov, has been defined by the company that commercially produces it as the first totally new mass analyzer to be introduced to the market in more than 20 years . Its name recalls the concept of trapping ions. Indeed, ions are trapped in an electrostatic field produced by two electrodes a central spindle-shaped and an outer barrel-like electrode. Ions are moving in harmonic, complex spiral-like movements around the central electrode while shuttling back and forth over its long axis in harmonic motion with frequencies...

Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Sergei Aseyev, Professor Victor Balykin, Professor Alexander Makarov, Professor Vladimir Minogin, and Professor Evgeny Ryabov, my former graduate students, for their help in preparing and editing many of the chapters of this book. 

Alexander Makarov published a completely new mass analyser concept called Orbitmp suitable for accurate mass measurements of low ion beams. 

The Orbitrap is a new high-resolution mass analyser invented by Alexander Makarov (2000). An inner spindle electrode is enclosed by two electrodes in a small device of only a few centimetre length. Ions are injected into the Orbitrap...
