Condensation and Storage of Hydrogen Cluster Ions

Abstract

This report reviews the cluster ion approach to containerless condensation and introduces the concept of pseudo wall. An experimental pseudo wall device, designed for the study of containerless condensation techniques, is described. Calculations indicate that the proposed device will be capable of confining cluster ions in the mass range 2-107 for time exceeding 104 seconds. A next generation device is projected to be capable of containing a total mass of 0.3 milligrams.
