A traveling wave Zeeman decelerator
We developed a new-concept Zeeman decelerator which produces a traveling magnetic trap. Atoms and molecules possessing a magnetic dipole moment, in so-called low field seeking states, are trapped around a node of a propagating wave provided that the initial velocity of the wave matches a velocity populated in the supersonic beam. In addition, three dimensional confinement is achieved by controlling the radial orientation of the trap, which can be done fully independently from its longitudinal motion
Towards magnetic slowing of atoms and molecules
We outline a method to slow paramagnetic atoms or molecules using pulsed
magnetic fields. We also discuss the possibility of producing trapped particles
by adiabatic deceleration of a magnetic trap. We present numerical simulation
results for the slowing and trapping of molecular oxygen
Characterization of SiO2 Nanoparticles by Single Particle - Inductively Coupled Plasma – Tandem Mass Spectroscopy
This work uses the tandem ICP-MS (ICPMS/MS) for obtaining interference-freeconditions to characterize SiO2 nanoparticles ranging between 80 and 400nm. These NPs have been detected and accurately characterized. For SiO2 NPs >100 nm, it was possible to provide accurateresults in a straightforward way, as theirsignal distributions are well resolved fromthat of the background
