    Abstract: Within an ion pump, accelerated ions leave the center portion of an anode tube due to the anode tube symmetry and the generally symmetrical electric fields present. The apparent symmetry within the anode tube may be altered by making the anode tube longitudinally segmented and applying independent voltages to each segment. The voltages on two adjacent segments may be time varying at different rates to achieve a rasterizing process.

    Abstract: A delivery nozzle for aerosol and solvent includes a nozzle body defining an aerosol passage and a solvent passage therethrough. The aerosol and solvent passages each extend from an inlet end of the nozzle body to an outlet end thereof. The nozzle body can include a solid, unitary structure with the aerosol and solvent passages both defined through the solid, unitary structure. The inlet end of the nozzle body can include a mounting flange configured to mount the nozzle body in a device for delivering aerosol through the aerosol passage and for delivering solvent through the solvent passage. The solvent passage can define a smaller cross-sectional flow area than that of the aerosol passage.

    Abstract: Within an ion pump, accelerated ions leave the center portion of an anode tube due to the anode tube symmetry and the generally symmetrical electric fields present. The apparent symmetry within the anode tube may be altered by making the anode tube longitudinally segmented and applying independent voltages to each segment. The voltages on two adjacent segments may be time varying at different rates to achieve a rasterizing process. In various embodiments, one or more wire internal to the anode structure and having a time-varying electric potential may alter the trajectory of the ions leaving the anode tube, as may the shape of the anode near the ends of the anode tube.

    Abstract: An ion pump includes an evacuateable envelope having a chamber. A first and a second cathode are disposed within the chamber and spaced apart from one another. An anode is spaced apart from and between the first and second cathodes. The anode has an anode body with a textured surface that defines capture regions for fixing material sputtered from the first and second cathodes and controlling size of sputter depositions shed from the anode.
