Atoms are the most fundamental building blocks of matter. Composed of subatomic components including electrons, protons, and neutrons, atoms are the smallest units having characteristics and properties that are unique and identifiable to individual elements. Table 2.1 lists the mass and electrical charge of the most common subatomic particles. Electrical charge is defined here, by convention, as a positive or negative integer. 

To this point, we have considered only the radiation field. We now turn to the interaction between the matter and the field. According to classical electromagnetic theory, the force on a particle with charge e due to the electric and magnetic fields is... 

If < 1, then binding is anticooperative, for example when an electrically charged particle adsorbs at an initially neutral surface the accumulated charge repels subsequent arrivals and makes their incorjDoration more difficult [58]. 

Ernest O. Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron) This member of the 5f transition elements (actinide series) was discovered in March 1961 by A. Ghiorso, T. Sikkeland, A.E. Larsh, and R.M. Latimer. A 3-Mg californium target, consisting of a mixture of isotopes of mass number 249, 250, 251, and 252, was bombarded with either lOB or IIB. The electrically charged transmutation nuclei recoiled with an atmosphere of helium and were collected on a thin copper conveyor tape which was then moved to place collected atoms in front of a series of solid-state detectors. The isotope of element 103 produced in this way decayed by emitting an 8.6 MeV alpha particle with a half-life of 8 s. 

The three particles that make up atoms are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and reside in the "nucleus," which is the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons have no electrical charge. Electrons are extremely lightweight and are negatively charged. They exist in a cloud that surrounds the atom. The electron cloud has a radius 10,000 times greater than the nucleus. 

A hexapole assembly of rods (poles) is built similarly to the quadrupole, but now there are three sets of opposed rods evenly spaced around a central axis. The hexapole cannot act as a mass filter by applying a DC field and is used only in its all-RF mode. It is therefore a wide band-pass filter and is used to collimate an ion beam. (Like-charged particles repel each other, and an electrically charged beam will tend to spread apart because of mutual repulsion of ions unless steps are taken to reduce the effect.)... 

Because the electrically charged droplets retain their charge but get smaller, their electric field increases. At some point, mutual repulsion between like charges causes charged particles (ions) to leave the surface of the droplet (ion evaporation). These ions can be detected by the mass spectrometer.

Particles carrying charges of opposite polarity due to contact electrification will be attracted to opposite electrodes when passing through an electric field and thus can be separated from each other. 

During the past 30 years considerable research has been undertaken that has led to electrically conducting polymers that do not rely on the use of fillers, the so-called intrinsically conductive polymers. Such polymers depend on the presence of particles which can transport or carry an electric charge. Two types may be distinguished ...
