Over the last decade, scientific and engineering interests have been shifting from canventional ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS). Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry Nonlinear Ion Transport and Fundamentals of FAIMS explores this new analytical technology that separates and characterizes ions by the difference between their mobility in gases at high and low electric fields. It also covers the novel topics of higher-order differential IMS and IMS with alignment of dipole direction.

This is the first book on differential ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), an analytical technique also called field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) and, on occasion, several of the altemafive names mentioned in the Introduction. These terms refer to the evolving methods for separation and characterization of ions based on the nonlinearity of their motion in gases under the influence of a strong electric field.
