The mass analyzer comprises a second outer conductor and a second inner conductor, wherein the second outer conductor and the second inner conductor are concentric and circular arc-shaped and located in the same plane with the interface device, and the second outer conductor and the second inner conductor form a second ion motion space. The mass analyser may also be referred to as a fourier transform electrostatic field ion trap, among others. The first inner conductor and the second outer conductor comprise channels for ions to pass through. I.e. ions may pass through the first and second inner electrical conductors.
That is, the first external conductor, the first internal conductor, the second external conductor and the second internal conductor are located on the same plane and correspond to the same center O.
The electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer can detect whether the object to be detected comprises the target substance to be detected. Before ions of an object to be detected enter the interface device, the ions may have a suitable kinetic energy, so that when the ions enter the interface device, the ions may perform a circular motion in a first ion motion space, and when the object to be detected includes a target substance, the ions corresponding to the target substance may be pushed to the mass analyzer by applying a voltage pulse to the interface device (for example, applying a corresponding voltage pulse to the first outer conductor or the first inner conductor).
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the mass analyzer of the electrostatic ion trap.

The method provided by the embodiment of the application can be used for detecting whether the object to be detected has the target substance. The target substance may be a substance to be detected, and the substance to be detected may be any substance, such as a mixture of substances or a single substance.
The embodiment of the application does not limit the mode of obtaining the ions of the object to be detected, and a suitable mode can be selected for obtaining.
In this embodiment of the present application, ions may enter an interface device in an electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer through acceleration of an ion source, and in order to make the ions perform circular motion in the interface device, the following initial conditions need to be satisfied, which specifically include:
the interface device, also called electrostatic analyser, is structured like a cylindrical capacitor, comprising a first inner electrical conductor and a first outer electrical conductor. Referring to fig. 3, a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, for an interface device, where a first external conductive body is included and has a radius R1(unit m) radius of the first inner conductor is R2(unit m); the first voltage corresponding to the first external conductor is U1(unit V) the second voltage corresponding to the first internal conductor is U2(unit V). By applying corresponding voltages to the first outer conductor and the first inner conductor, an electric field can be formed in the first ion movement space to move ions in the space.
Since there is no charge between the two conductors, the Laplace equation can be used
The potential between the two conductors is calculated.
Wherein, within the cylindrical coordinates:
r may refer to a bit vector corresponding to each position in the first ion motion space, i.e., a vector pointing to each position from the center O corresponding to the first external conductor or the first internal conductor.

and determines the values of a and B based on the boundary conditions.
When R is R1, U is U1, U1 is ainr 1+ B; when R is R2, U is U2 and U1 is ainr 2+ B.
Therefore, the first and second electrodes are formed on the substrate,
The magnitude of the electric field force on the ions is:
q is the charge quantity carried by the ion, the direction of the electric field force always points to the center O, and the force borne by the ion is only related to r (the radius corresponding to the uniform circular motion).
As shown in FIG. 3, ions of the object enter the interface device from the point P, and the radius corresponding to the incident ions is r0Initial velocity v0The initial speed direction is perpendicular to the applied electric field force. Wherein r is0Is the initial position (in m), r, of the ion entry interface device0=R2+(R1-R2) And/2, ions of the object to be detected are incident from the center of the entrance of the interface device. The initial kinetic energy of the ions is:
if the ions of the object to be detected enter the interface (electrostatic analyzer), they are subjected to the force of the electric field
Because the initial velocity direction of the ion of the thing to be detected is perpendicular with the electric field force direction, from this doing circular motion, then there is:
therefore, when
During the operation, the ions of the object to be detected do circular motion in the interface device. If the acceleration voltage is changed to the acceleration voltage U of the preceding stage ion accelerator
accIt can be expressed as:
for example, let U
1=100V,U
2=100V,R
1/
R 24, when the initial kinetic energy of the ions of the object to be detected is equal to
In this case, the movement of the ions of the object to be detected is circular. Setting U in ion optical simulation software
1=100V,U
2=100V,R
1/
R 24. When the initial kinetic energy of the ions of the object to be detected is set to 36ev, the ion motion trajectory is circular, and if the initial kinetic energy of the ions is increased, for example, to 37ev, the ion trajectory deviates from the circular trajectory in the above case. If the initial kinetic energy of the ions is reduced, for example, to 35ev, the trajectories of the ions are deviated from the circular trajectories in the above case.
Thus, when an ion of the object to be detected leaves the ion source, the initial kinetic energy of the ion should satisfy the above condition, that is,
so that the first external conductor is applied with a first voltage U after the ions enter the interface device
1And the first internal conductor is loaded with a second voltage U
2The ions may be caused to move circumferentially within the interface device.
In addition, in this process, the first outer conductor or the first inner conductor may be subjected to a corresponding voltage pulse for applying an additional force to the ions of the object to be detected, pushing them into the mass analyser, in the hope of making a circular movement of the ions in the mass analyser.
In embodiments of the present application, a corresponding voltage pulse may be applied to the first inner conductor of the interface device, and a corresponding voltage pulse may also be applied to the first outer conductor, to cause ions to enter the mass analyser.
If the substance to be detected includes a target substance, in one possible implementation manner, in order to allow ions corresponding to the target substance in the substance to be detected to enter the mass analyzer, the pulse voltage satisfies the following condition:
a third condition determined based on a first radius corresponding to the first outer conductor, a second radius corresponding to the first inner conductor, and the first voltage and the second voltage.
The determination of this third condition is described in detail below.
Taking the example of applying the voltage pulse Δ U to the first external conductor of the interface device, the Δ U is applied to change the trajectory of the ions making the circular motion in the interface device to enter the mass analyzer, i.e., the fourier transform electrostatic field ion trap. As shown in FIG. 3, when a voltage pulse was applied when the ions moved to the point P, the voltage of the first external conductor became U1 '(U1'>U1) the ions will move along the dashed line in fig. 3 to point Q on the first internal conductor. At the instant when the first external conductor voltage becomes U1', the kinetic energy of the ions is EpI.e. the aforementioned E0. When the ion moves to the point Q, the kinetic energy of the ion is Eq=Ep+ΔUq。
At this time, the velocity of the ions at point Q is:
m is the ion mass.
And according to the law of conservation of angular momentum:
mr0v023nθ0=mR2vQsinθQ;
wherein, theta0Is the angle between the velocity of the ion at point P and the electric field force experienced by the ion, θQIs the angle between the velocity of the ion at the point Q and the electric field force experienced by the ion.
Thus, the method can obtain the product,
since the velocity direction of the ion at the point P is perpendicular to the direction of the applied electric field, s3n θ01. Therefore, the temperature of the molten metal is controlled,
therefore, according to r0,U1’,R1,R2,q,v0Then theta can be calculatedQ. Only when the delta U reaches a certain value, the ion corresponding to the target substance is likely to move to the radius R2If the value of Δ U is not large enough, the ions corresponding to the target substance will not move to radius R2The position of (a). Therefore, according to sin θQThe value range of delta U is determined by less than 1, and ions corresponding to the target substance can be ensured to move to the radius R2The position of (a).
Thus, a value range of Δ U is obtained and recorded as a third condition:
by making the voltage pulse satisfy the third condition, the movement of the ion corresponding to the target substance to a radius of R is improved2And thereby increasing the probability of ions corresponding to the target species entering the mass analyzer.
In order to increase the probability that ions corresponding to the target substance enter the mass spectrometer to make circular motion, in one possible implementation, the voltage pulse satisfies the following condition:
according to a first radius R corresponding to the first external conductor1A second radius R corresponding to the first inner conductor2The first voltage U1The second voltage U2A third radius R corresponding to the second external conductor3And a first condition determined by the charge amount q of the target substance.
And/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
according to a first radius R corresponding to the first external conductor1A second radius R corresponding to the first inner conductor2The first voltage U1The second voltage U2A fourth radius R corresponding to the second inner conductor4And a second condition determined by the charge amount q of the target substance.
The determination of the first and second conditions is described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 4, which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of another electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, in order to ensure that the ions do not collide with the second external conductor when entering the mass analyzer, an angle between a speed of the ions at the point Q and an electric field force applied to the ions should satisfy the following condition:
that is to say that the first and second electrodes,
thus, the first condition for obtaining the voltage pulse is:
in order to ensure that the ions corresponding to the target substance do not collide with the second internal conductor when entering the mass analyzer, an included angle between a speed of the ions corresponding to the target substance at the point Q and an electric field force applied to the ions should satisfy the following second condition:
that is to say that the first and second electrodes,
thus, the second condition for obtaining the voltage pulse is:
if the voltage pulse satisfies any one or more of the first and second conditions, the probability that ions corresponding to the target species enter the mass analyzer for circular motion can be increased.
For an electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer, a fixed kinetic energy is set for the mass analyzer, that is, ions moving circularly in the mass analyzer should have a specific kinetic energy, so that the ions are subjected to mass detection by the mass analyzer. Wherein the fixed kinetic energy set for the mass analyzer is
That is, the first optimal incident conditions for ions of the target species to enter the mass analyzer include: initial kinetic energy of ions in tangential direction is
Where k is the field curvature of the electrostatic field in the mass analyzer, i.e., a parameter, and the value of k is determined by the third and fourth voltages and the corresponding radii of the second outer and second inner conductors. RmMay be the ion trap characteristic radius, in m, for the mass analyzer, which is a parameter of the mass analyzer, in an implementation, RmThe values of (a) may be: rmR' may be the radius corresponding to the uniform circular motion of the ions in the mass analyser, 0.032388.
Thus, in one possible implementation, the voltage pulse is determined in a manner that includes:
according to the first outer layerFirst radius R corresponding to the portion conductor1A second radius R corresponding to the first inner conductor2A first voltage U1A second voltage U2Ion trap characteristic radius R corresponding to mass analyzermAnd determining the voltage pulse.
Wherein, in order to ensure that the kinetic energy of the ions corresponding to the target material when entering the mass analyzer can reach the fixed kinetic energy set for the mass analyzer, the kinetic energy of the ions when entering the mass analyzer can reach E after the ions are supplemented with the kinetic energy through the voltage pulse delta UESIT_in。
I.e. the potential difference U between the two conductors based on the interface means, according to the conservation of energy1-U2And the voltage pulse Δ U must satisfy the following condition:
obtain corresponding voltage pulse
And the interface device is applied by this voltage pulse deltau.
S202: when a preset time is reached, a third voltage is applied to the second outer conductor and a fourth voltage is applied to the second inner conductor.
It will be appreciated that the optimal incident conditions for ions of the target species to enter the interface device include: the initial kinetic energy of the ions entering the interface device ensures that they can move circumferentially within the interface device.
In addition, mass analysis of ions by a mass analyzer also has two other optimal incidence conditions, respectively:
the second optimum incidence condition is: the radial initial velocity of the ions is zero, namely the incident velocity direction of the ions incident to the second external conductor is vertical to the bit vector;
the third optimal incidence condition is: the radial acceleration of the ions is zero in magnitude so that the ions can move in a circular motion within the mass analyzer.
In order to enable ions corresponding to the target species to enter the mass analyser from the interface device, a voltage pulse is applied to a first external conductor or a first internal conductor in the interface device. After the voltage pulse is applied to the electric conductor of the interface device, the motion track of the ion which does circular motion in the interface device changes, and the size of the bit vector of the ion can change along with the time in the motion process. Potential difference U of interface device1-U2And the voltage pulse au of the interface device will determine the initial incident state of the ions into the mass analyser. In order to satisfy the second and third optimum incidence conditions for ions to be analysed in the mass analyser, a delay time, denoted as a predetermined time t, may be created between the application of the voltage pulse by the interface means and the application of a voltage, e.g. a negative high voltage, to the electrical conductors in the mass analysertotal。
Wherein the preset time ttotalIncluding a first time t for ions to orbit from a first circle of the interface device to the first internal electrical conductor1And a second time t from the first inner conductor movement to the target position2. And a preset time ttotalIs determined based on the mass number m of the target substance and the charge amount q.
The corresponding speed direction of the ions at the target position is perpendicular to the corresponding vector direction, and the corresponding vector of the ions at the target position is a vector of a circle center O corresponding to the second external conductor or the second internal conductor pointing to the target position.

referring to fig. 5, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of another electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer provided in the embodiments of the present application, the motion trajectory of the ions is a circle before the voltage pulse is applied by the interface device, as shown in fig. 5. The electric field force of the ions is just equal to the centripetal force required by the ions to do circular motion, r is the position vector of the ions in the interface device, and the size of r is the distance between the position of the ions in the interface device and the corresponding circle center:
at the instant that the voltage pulse is applied by the interface device, the electric field force on the ions corresponding to the target species is increased
At this time, the electric field force applied to the ion corresponding to the target substance is:
therefore, the electric field force of the ion corresponding to the target substance is larger than the centripetal force required by the ion to do circular motion, the electric field force of the ion provides a radial force for the ion besides providing the centripetal force for the ion to do circular motion, and the magnitude of the radial force is that
The direction points to the corresponding circle center of the interface device. Under the action of the force, ions corresponding to the target substance do accelerated motion along the radial direction while doing circular motion. The acceleration of the ions corresponding to the target substance in the radial direction is as follows:
as shown in fig. 5, the radius of motion of the ions decreases after the interface device applies the voltage pulse.
After the interface device applies the voltage pulse, when the magnitude of the motion potential vector of the ion corresponding to the target substance is equal to r, the required centripetal force is

Referring to fig. 5, which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of another electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer provided in this embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, since an angle between an exit velocity direction of ions corresponding to a target substance when the ions enter the mass analyzer at a point Q and a direction of a bit vector R3 is smaller than 90 °, that is, the ions corresponding to the target substance do not reach an optimal incident angle. Therefore, the third voltage and the fourth voltage, i.e., the negative high voltage, are not applied just when the ions corresponding to the target substance enter the mass analyzer to bind the ions entering the mass analyzer.
When the ions corresponding to the target substance enter the mass analyzer from the point Q, they move linearly at a constant speed v, and when the ions move to the target position, i.e., the point B in fig. 5, the direction of the speed v of the ions is perpendicular to the direction of the bit vector of the ions, so that the optimal incident angle of the ions is satisfied. The bit vector may refer to a vector in which a center of a circle corresponding to the mass analyzer (i.e., a center of a circle corresponding to the second external conductive body or the second internal conductive body) points to a target position of the ion.
At this time, by applying a voltage to the mass analyzer, that is, applying a third voltage to the second external conductor and applying a fourth voltage to the second internal conductor, ions corresponding to the target substance are bound, so that the ions corresponding to the target substance make uniform circular motion in the second ion motion space.
