    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  3. Thomson (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_(unit)

    The thomson (symbol: Th) is a unit that has appeared infrequently in scientific literature relating to the field of mass spectrometry as a unit of mass-to-charge ratio.The unit was proposed by R. Graham Cooks and Alan L. Rockwood [1] naming it in honour of J. J. Thomson who measured the mass-to-charge ratio of electrons and ions.

    In 1913 he measured the mass-to-charge ratio of ions with an instrument he called a parabola spectrograph. [8] Although this data was not represented as a modern mass spectrum, it was similar in meaning. Eventually there was a change to the notation as m/e giving way to the current standard of m/z. [citation needed]

  5. Mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry

    Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Mass spectrometry is used in many different fields and is applied to pure samples as well as complex mixtures.

  6. Charge transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_transfer_coefficient

    Charge transfer coefficient, and symmetry factor (symbols α and β, respectively) are two related parameters used in description of the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. They appear in the Butler–Volmer equation and related expressions.

  7. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    Occasionally, δδ+ is used to indicate a partial charge that is less positively charged than δ+ (likewise for δδ-) in cases where it is relevant to do so. [2] This can be extended to δδδ+ to indicate even weaker partial charges as well. Generally, a single δ+ (or δ-) is sufficient for most discussions of partial charge in organic ...

  8. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.

  9. Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia

    This ratio is the rest mass of the proton divided by that of the electron. An analogous ratio can be defined for any elementary particle. Strong force coupling strength α s ≈ 1. The tensor-to-scalar ratio , a ratio between the contributions of tensor and scalar modes to the primordial power spectrum observed in the CMB. [23]
