The ion mobility spectrometry is a powerfull tool for:
- detection of the trace gases (drugs, explosives) in the atmosphere
- analysis the ions formed in atmospheric pressure discharges
- studies of ion-molecule reactions at high pressures
Recently we have employed this apparatus to study electron drifdt in the mixture Ar with trace amounts of molecular gases.
