Theoretical Prediction of Charged Droplet Evaporation and Fission in Electrospray Ionization

Abstract

A theoretical analysis was performed on the droplet asymmetric fission electrospray ionization process. The formulated model is able to predict the diameter, charge and the percentage of charge at the Rayleigh charge limit for both progeny droplets and residue parent droplet during each fission process based upon possible different numbers of progeny droplets generated by the fission event.
