  • System and method for trapping and measuring a charged particle in a liquid
    Patent number: 8492714
    Abstract: A system and method for trapping a charged particle is disclosed. A time-varying periodic multipole electric potential is generated in a trapping volume. A charged particle under the influence of the multipole electric field is confined to the trapping volume. A three electrode configuration giving rise to a 3D Paul trap and a four planar electrode configuration giving rise to a 2D Paul trap are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2013
    Assignees: Yale University, UT-Battelle, LLC, University of Tennessee Research Foundation
