Ion Mobility Spectrometry: Ion Source Development and Applications in Physical and Biological Sciences

TL;DR: The utility of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has been steadily growing, and it cuts across diverse areas in physical and biological sciences as discussed by the authors, and the development of ion sources, particularly in the context of IMS, is described.

Variation of spark-potential with temperature in gases

H C Bowker
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature on the sparkpotential in hydrogen and nitrogen at ordinary pressures has been studied up to 860°C, over 6000 voltmeter-readings having been taken.

The onset of electrical breakdown in dust layers. I: Microsparking described by Paschen's law

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the onset of electrical breakdown in dust layers, for hand-deposited dust layers in a parallel-plate geometry, was conducted. And it was found that the breakdown was an ordinary electron-avalanche process originating in voids within the dust layer and obeying Paschen's Law.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effective dielectric constant of dust layers

TL;DR: In this article, the local electric field where breakdown occurs was found to be more than an order of magnitude larger than the applied field, which suggests that the electrical breakdown of a dust layer usually occurs at average electric fields which appear to be too small to initiate the breakdown.

The Onset of Electrical Breakdown in Dust Layers: II. Effective Dielectric Constant and Local Field Enhancement

TL;DR: In this article, an effective dielectric constant characterizing the dust layer can be determined from ac Dielectric measurements and the theory of Debye, which can be combined with an expression for the enhanced local electric field in the void spaces between particles.
