Mass Spectrometry works by ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged ions, with a range of molecular masses. (infinitalab.com)
The ions are then accelerated in an electric field and separated in vacuum, depending on their mass as well as their charge. (infinitalab.com)
The separated ions are analyzed by spectrometry principles. (infinitalab.com)
Individual compounds have their own unique mass spectrum since every pure compound always produces the same family of ions. (infinitalab.com)
Ionization also has to be a critical part of a glow discharge in an equilibrium condition, as there will be a continuos loss of ions from any set component of the system at any given time, which needs to be balanced by an equivalent gain. (plasma-universe.com)
The ions (which are positively charged) are driven towards the cathode by the electric potential, and the electrons are driven towards the anode by the same potential. (plasma-universe.com)
Some of the ions' kinetic energy is transferred to the cathode. (plasma-universe.com)
Ions strike the more numerous neutral gas atoms, transferring a portion of their energy to them. (plasma-universe.com)
These collisions may be with ions, electrons, or other atoms that have been previously excited by collisions with ions, electrons, or atoms. (plasma-universe.com)
Plasma (from grc πλάσμα ( plásma ) 'moldable substance') is one of four fundamental states of matter , characterized by the presence of a significant portion of charged particles in any combination of ions or electrons . (handwiki.org)
Except near the electrodes, where there are sheaths containing very few electrons, the ionized gas contains ions and electrons in about equal numbers so that the resultant space charge is very small. (handwiki.org)

Plasma5
Electric glow discharge is a type of plasma formed by passing a current at 100 V to several kV through a gas, usually argon or another noble gas. (plasma-universe.com)
The glow discharge owes its name to the fact that plasma is luminous, the luminosity is produced because the electrons gain sufficient energy to generate visible light by excitation collisions which generate photons. (plasma-universe.com)
Involved in the formation of glow discharges are the formation of restricted electric fields and plasma sheaths at each of the electrodes. (plasma-universe.com)
The voltage current characteristic of a glow discharge is highly non-linear, as are many plasma phenomenon, and ordinary linear physics can not be applied to explain their struture. (plasma-universe.com)
