Pulse excitation method for the determination of microparticle properties — •Armin Mengel and Franko Greiner — Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel

The fact that a microparticle trapped in the sheath of a radiofrequency plasma behaves like a harmonic oscillator is often employed for diagnostics of particle properties, like charge-to-mass ratio or neutral drag coefficient. While traditional resonance methods like the frequency sweep^[1] or phase resolved resonance method(PRRM)^[2] rely on a sequence of measurements at a set of individual frequencies, possibly resulting in low time resolution, excitation with a pulse signal offers the opportunity to obtain the same parameters from a single time-resolved trajectory of the particle response within a much shorter time. We present a comparative study of PRRM and pulse excitation method (PEM).
