Inferring Thermal Dissociation Kinetics of Ion Clusters from Molecular Dynamics
Nicholas Laws, Adler Smith, Elaine Petro
Electrospray ionic liquid ion sources operating in the pure ion regime emit metastable, low solvation number ion clusters whose post-emission dissociation modifies plume compositio…
On the Two-Dimensional Structure and Asymmetries of Ionic Liquid Electrospray Plumes
Zach Ulibarri, Giuliana Hofheins, Sophia Gessman +1
Vacuum electrosprays play important roles in electrospray propulsion, a type of spacecraft electric propulsion wherein charged ions or droplets are accelerated at high velocity to…
Secondary Species formed from ionic liquid electrospray ion plume impacts with propellant thin films
Giuliana Caramella Hofheins, Aleksandra B. Biedron, Elaine M Petro
The operational lifetime of ionic liquid electrospray propulsion systems is limited by plume-extractor electrode interactions. Over time, propellant accumulation, surface erosion,…
