Abstract:
In view of the demand of the portable mass spectrometer in many fields, the structure of the ion source, as the core functional component of the microscale mass spectrometers, is designed, and its ion optical system is simulated by the software SIMION. The effect of the electrode voltage, the lens structure, and the electrode structure on the ion width and the divergence angle are investigated and optimized. The related parameters obtained may provide a basis for the development of microscale mass spectrometers.
