Simulation on the Photoionization Source of Mass Spectrometry by NS-DSMC Method

  • 摘要: 研究质谱的离子传输气体动力学特征对理解和提升质谱仪器灵敏度具有重要意义。基于纳维-斯托克斯(Navier-Stokes)方程和直接蒙特卡洛(Direct Simulation Monte Carlo)方法联用,可以计算获得气体从大气压连续流到真空稀薄流的流场特征,进一步与电场仿真耦合,可以获得离子的传输与空间分布信息,评价离子光学器件性能。本工作基于光电离质谱,构建了毛细管进样、光电离源和取样锥的组合结构模型,建立了离子传输跨流态多物理场仿真方法,得到了两种结构光电离源电极对离子传输效率的影响,并利用自制光电离飞行时间质谱装置验证了仿真方法的可靠性。本工作为复杂流场和电场环境下质谱光电离源及离子传输装置设计提供了理论指导依据。

     

    Abstract: Understanding the gas dynamics characteristics of the mass spectrometry (MS) ion transport system is important for improving the sensitivity of MS instruments. Based on the coupled of the Navier-Stokes equation and the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method, the flow field characteristics of the gas from the atmospheric pressure continuous flow to the vacuum rarefied flow can be calculated. Further coupling with the electric field simulation, ions' transportation, and spatial distribution information can be obtained, and the performance of ion optical devices can be evaluated. Based on photoionization mass spectrometry, this work constructed a combined structural model of capillary injection, photoionization source, and sampling cone, established a multi-physics simulation method for ion transportation across flow regimes, obtained the effects of two types of structured photoionization source electrodes on the ion transportation efficiency, and verified the reliability of the simulation method using a self-made photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. This work provides theoretical guidance for the design of mass spectrometry photoionization sources and ion transportation instruments under complex flow and electric field environments.
