J.}, month = {Aug}, pages = {91-103}, type = {Article}, abstract = {Ion motion with auxiliary dipole excitation and collisional damping in a linear radiofrequency quadrupole ion trap incorporating small amounts of even higher order multipoles is studied analytically. The ion motion is modeled in a pseudopotential that is mostly quadratic with small amounts of higher spatial harmonics. Ion motion along x and y axes is characterized by two uncoupled forced and damped anharmonic oscillator equations. A multiple time scales method is used to solve the equations of motion of ions with a first order perturbation Correction. Analytical relations between the oscillation amplitudes at steady state (the stationary amplitudes) and excitation frequency are calculated. The frequency response Curves show that in some cases bistable behavior might be obtained, i.e., there are two stable stationary amplitudes for a given excitation frequency.

This model includes a direct numerical solution of Boltzmann equations for the spatial and velocity dependence of the electron and Ar+ distribution functions with a self-consistent electric field calculated from the Poisson equation. The solution is obtained using a collocation method that employs Legendre quadrature points for both angular and spatial variables, and nonclassical speed quadrature points for velocity. The results of the steady state direct numerical solution are compared with a particle-in-cell Monte Carlo simulation. As anticipated, it is found that the space- and energy-dependent ion distribution function varies strongly with a decrease in the ratio of the Debye length to the ion mean free path.}, keywords = {COEFFICIENTS, COLLISIONLESS PLASMA, IONS, MODEL, MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION, MOTION, NEUTRALS, PRESHEATH, TRANSITION}, isbn = {1063-651X}, url = {://000175146600014}, author = {Vasenkov, A.
