摘要：A new multi-channel air ion spectrometer (AIS) is presented. The instrument allows simultaneous measurements of positive and negative ion distributions from 3.2 to 0.0013 cm2 V–1 s–1 (0.80–40 nm diameter or, using the Tammet correction, from 0.4 to 40 nm). The mobility range is divided into 27 fractions which are measured simultaneously to ensure a high time resolution (down to 10 seconds). The instrument calibration shows a good agreement with the mobility of electrically-classified, mono-dispersed aerosols. The spectrometer overestimates low concentrations of cluster ions. This is caused by a natural production of small ions (< 1 nm, 10 to 100 cm–3) inside the spectrometer. The instrument specifications, calibration results and measurements performed show a huge application potential of the new spectrometer.
