Ion Mobility Spectroscopy

Ion mobility spectroscopy, or IMS, is a technology that analyzes the components in a gas by separating the ions inside. With an ion source that ionizes the gas, the ions are traveling across an electrical field, where ions traveling at different velocities (mainly due to different masses) arrive the destination at different times. When one …

Silicon-based low energy X-ray detector

X-ray detector is a key component of instruments like XRF, XRD, which are used to characterize a material’s component. Among different x-ray detectors like CsI, Si(Li), SDD, Si-PIN, the later two silicon-based detectors are the most popular ones due to the low production cost, small size, and high spectrum resolution. The XR-100CR is a Si-PIN …

Scroll Vacuum Pumps (TriScroll TS600, XDS10, and ScrollTec SVF-20)

Scroll vacuum pumps, or dry pumps, are mainly used in vacuum systems requiring a clean condition, free of oil vapor contamination from normal oil-sealed pumps like rotary vane pumps. Scroll vacuum pumps have one or two stages of orbiting plates, compressing gases to the center of the plates and sucking the molecules out. The video …

Make Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) Superconductor

There are two main groups of superconductor, type I and type II. For the type I superconductors, they normally require a lower temperature to gain superconductivity while having a smaller critical current and magnetic field. Scientists later discovered BCS theory that explained how these superconductors work. When one electron enters a crystal lattice, it attracts …
