Aerosol Inlets Need to entrain aerosols from the atmosphere into a vacuum Aerosol Inlets Need to entrain aerosols from the atmosphere into a vacuum Need to concentrate particles and remove the gas 2.5 x molecules cm -3 in ambient air 3.2 µg m -3 of particulate S = moles m -3 of S 6.2x10 23 x10 -7 x10 -6 =6.2x10 10 molecules cm -3 or around 2 ppb Aerosol Inlets Need to entrain aerosols from the atmosphere into a vacuum Need to concentrate particles and remove the gas 2.5 x molecules cm -3 in ambient air 3.2 µg m -3 of particulate S = moles m -3 of S 6.2x10 23 x10 -7 x10 -6 =6.2x10 10 molecules cm -3 or around 2 ppb May need to introduce a size dependent velocity onto the particles

Effects on beam width non spherical particles may affect the ability of particle lens systems to focus the particle beam

Vaporization Desorption/ionisation process can be coupled together - This is certainly simpler but it is very difficult to quantify the mass of material detected A two step process of desorption followed subsequently by ionisation provides a way of more easily quantifying mass However, this comes at a price - More volatile species may decompose - Refractory material (NaCl, dust, soot) will not evapourate unless the temperature is very high Vaporisation may be performed by -Thermal methods or -IR laser absorption

Ionization Ideally should: Produce ions from either solid or liquid particles or the desorbed gas Need to produce a high number of ions per molecule (high efficiency) Ideally the number of ions produced is proportional to the number of molecules The ionisation is selective and universal The molecular fragmentation is reproducible

Laser Desorption/Ionisation: The LDI process on particles is poorly understood Laser wavelength is important Sulphuric acid hard to ionise – due to transparency in UV Dependent on laser beam cross sectional intensity Laser pulse width dependence In larger particles, not all particle may be ionized Laser power density -lower fluence reduces fragmentation -higher fluence allows improved ionisation

Advantages/Disadvantages of laser and thermal systems: laser based systems:thermal systems: -can ionise a wide range of- Can be used to deliver species quantitative mass information -deliver single particle info- deliver information on the and so enable estimates of particle ensemble mixing state -do not have consistent - Can be traced back to ionisation and suffer shot to well characterised ionisation shot variability libraries
