    Abstract: Disclosed is an ion gate for a dual IMS and method. The ion gate includes an ion source, a first gate electrode placed on one side of the ion source, a second gate electrode placed on the other side of the ion source, a third gate electrode placed on the side of the first gate electrode away from the ion source, a fourth gate electrode placed on the side of the second gate electrode away from the ion source, wherein during the ion storage, the potential at the position on the tube axis of the ion gate corresponding to the first gate electrode is different from the potentials at the positions on the tube axis corresponding to the ion source and the third gate electrode, and the potential at the position on the tube axis corresponding to the second gate electrode is different from the potentials at the positions on the tube axis corresponding to the ion source and the fourth gate electrode. According to the present invention, after sample gas enters the ion gates, charge exchange with reaction ions occurs between the first gate electrode and the second electrode, and positive and negative ions are continuously stored into the storage regions for the positive and negative ions. This leads to an improvement of utility rate of ions. Then, the ions are educed in a step-wise manner from the storage regions for the positive and negative ions by a simple control of a combination of the electrodes.

    Abstract: In certain example embodiments of this invention, there is provide an ion source including an anode and a cathode. In certain example embodiments, the cathode does not overhang over the anode, or vice versa. Since no, or fewer, areas of overhang are provided between the anode and cathode, there is less undesirable build-up on the anode and/or cathode during operation of the ion source so that the source can run more efficiently. Moreover, in certain example embodiments, an insulator such as a ceramic or the like is provided between the anode and cathode.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a particle source, particularly an ion source for the production of excited particles in gaseous media. A dielectric, e.g., Kapton foil, is coated electrically conductively on both sides, and a voltage, preferably pulsed, is applied between the two coatings. A gas discharge is ignited in the gas through-flow by the voltage. Due to a pressure difference between the two sides of the foil, the gas expands from the high pressure side to the low pressure side, preferably in an ultrasonic expansion, whereby a directed, cold beam of excited particles or ions is produced.
