  • Virtual ion trap
    Patent number: 7375320
    Abstract: A virtual ion trap that uses electric focusing fields instead of machined metal electrodes that normally surround the trapping volume, wherein two opposing surfaces include a plurality of uniquely designed and coated electrodes, and wherein the electrodes can be disposed on the two opposing surfaces using plating techniques that enable much higher tolerances to be met than existing machining techniques.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2008
    Assignee: Brigham Young University
    Inventors: Edgar D. Lee, Alan L. Rockwood, Randall Waite, Stephen A. Lammert, Milton L. Lee
