Regulation of Ion Formation in Atmospheric Pressure Negative Corona Discharges and Its Application in Modern Mass Spectrometry

(Yokohama City Univ.)
oKanako Sekimoto

Atmospheric pressure corona discharge has been used as an ionizer in a wide range of research fields and commercial electric appliances. However, the elementary processes involved in ion formation occurring in corona discharge are not yet well understood. I have studied negative ion formation mechanism using mass spectrometry and calculations of inhomogeneous electric field distribution. In this talk, I will highlight my findings about how the negative ion formation can be regulated in the corona discharge.
