Capture and retention of charged dust particles in electrodynamic traps
Annotation
The conditions of capture and retention of charged dust particles in linear Paul traps in air at atmospheric pressure in a wide range of parameters characterizing both dynamic traps and confined particles have been found by means of Brownian dynamics. It is shown that the viscosity of a gaseous medium strongly affects capture and retention of dust particles. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental data on the creation and retention of a stable Coulomb cluster of charged dust particles in a quadrupole trap.
