Abstract
Curved ion manipulation devices can provide relatively greater ion pathway lengths over conventional devices. Ions can be directed through one or more pairs of opposing curved surfaces of a curved ion manipulation structure. Each pair of opposing curved surfaces can be spaced apart radially relative to a common longitudinal axis of the ion manipulation structure to define a radial gap. Each pair of opposing curved surfaces can include a first electrode arrangement and a second electrode arrangement opposed to the first electrode arrangement. The first and second electrode arrangements can define an ion pathway and are configured to direct ions along the ion pathway and circumferentially through the radial gaps of the ion manipulation structure.
