Stopping potential

The excess energies can be measured for a known by essentially a stopping potential method, giving a spechum. This spectrum is then matched with calculated orbital energies (eigenvalues) derived from molecular orbital calculations.

In this ideal condition, the current vs. applied potential curve in a PEVD process is schematically shown in Figure 6. The applied dc potential is linearly related to the current I, and the slope is -G,. The stop potential at zero current is...

FIGURE 6-13 Apparatus for studying the photoelectric effecl. Photons enter Ihe phototube, strike the cathode, and eject electrons. The photoelectrons are attracted to the anode when it is positive with respect to the cathode. When the anode is negative as shown, the electrons are stopped. and no current passes. The negative voltage between the anode and the cathode when the current is zero is the stopping potential. 

Subsequent variations of the apparatus introduced a stopping potential analyzer instead of a Wien filter " and, to obtain workable beams at lower energies, a deceleration lens system (see below). 

The pulsed technique employed by Henchman et uses an ordinary source in which a short electron pulse provides reactant ions. Another short pulse applied to a repeller plate accelerates these to a definite energy (about 1 eV). Before emerging from the exit slit of the chamber, the reactant ions may collide with un-ionized gas to give product ions. The forward velocity of both reactant and product ions is measured by applying a variably delayed gating pulse to a deflection electrode outside of the ionization chamber. A more recent version of the apparatus incorporates separate ion production and reaction chambers, as well as a stopping potential analyzer. ... 

Stopping potential analyzers offer maximum sensitivity at lowest beam intensities. However, the fact that all ions below a certain energy are detected makes it difficult to distinguish low-energy components which are relatively weak (e.g., those particles recoiling backwards in the center-of-mass system from a reaction which yields mostly forward-directed products). 

In using stopping potential analyzers, it is essential that particles ap-...

Quadruple Ion traps provide a versatile approach for storage, fragmentation, and selection of ions, (a) Schematic of 3D quadmpole ion trap consisting of a ring electrode and two end-cap electrodes. Only one ion ejection pathway is shown. A combination of DC and RF potentials is applied to the electrodes. 1 mtorr of helium is typically added to the mass analyzer, (b) Schematic of a linear quadrupole ion trap. During ion trapping, DC and RF Ion-guiding potentials are maintained on the central electrodes while the end section electrodes maintain stop potential, SP.

Print two copies of the plot in full-page format, and overlay the two copies over a light source. Determine the stopping potential at 365.015 nm as described by Knudsen. Compare your result with his result in the ubie in (f). (f) Perform a least-squares analysis of the data in the following table to determine Planck s constant. Compare these results to those of Millikan and your results from (c). Rationalize any differences in the results in terms of experimental differences and other fundamental considerations. 

An ion mobility experiment requires a pulse of ions, so when using a continuous ion source (such as electrospray) it is necessary to trap ions and pulse them into the cell. Here we employed the pre-cell transfer hexapole HI (see Figure 4.1). This is achieved by placing a stopping voltage on the top hat lens (THl). To pulse ions out of the hexapole it is necessary to apply a pulsed voltage to THl, which will allow the stopping potential to be rapidly lowered for short periods of time at a set frequency. 

A pulser unit was therefore designed and built in house to allow the THl to be pulsed. The unit requires two inputs THl from the lens power supply described above and a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) pulse from a signal generator. A signal generator is used to define the pulse frequency and width the amplitude of the stopping potential is controlled via the pulser unit.
