Abstract

Ion trapping is a method of determining the elemental composition of a charged sample, allowing the substance to be properly identified. It uses metal rings or lines with an applied voltage and radio frequency to initially trap the ions in a central region and begin to eject successively larger ions as the radio frequency is increased.
