Fringing-field integrals of clamped quadrupoles H. Irnich, B. Pfreundtner, B. Hartmann and H. Wollnik II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität Giessen, D-W-6300 Giessen, Germany

Received 3 June 1992 Using the method of surface charges, the fringing field of electrostatic quadrupole lenses is investigated and the result is compared to measured field maps of magnetic quadrupoles of low flux densities. For different field clamp geometries third-order fringing-field integrals are calculated . 1. Introduction The investigation of the fringing fields of quadrupole lenses requires precisely measured field distributions or quite exact three-dimensional calculations . We have chosen to do calculations by the surface charge method [1,2] which has been known [3,4] for quite some time and recently has also been used for fringing-field calculations [5,6]. For our calculations we used the program IEQ3 of ref. [5] implemented [7] by a three-dimensional automatic mesh generator. In detail we calculated and measured the fringing-field distribution of a magnetic quadrupole that was driven by Co-Sm permanent magnets [8]. Such a device we had chosen for comparison since it can be better approximated by calculations of electrostatic potentials than a magnetic quadrupole driven by large coils. The cross section of this quadrupole is shown in fig. 1 together with the mesh of charge points chosen for corresponding potential calculations. Assuming no fringing-field clamps, the calculated go(z) =aB(O,O,z)g/ax in the fringing

field is shown in fig. 2 together with the measured distribution for a quadrupole . As one can see the agreement is quite good. Additionally, in fig. 2 also the calculated distribution go(z) of the gradient of the fringing-field distribution is shown for electrodes of circular cross section, i.e . for the case that the 120° segments of fig. 1 were replaced by 360° full circles. As one can see, the agreement in the main fringe-field region is quite good, however, there is a distinct disagreement in the tail of the fringing-field distribution . From this comparison between theoretical calculations and a measurement distribution we felt confident that our calculations reproduce the real fringing-field distribution quite accurately .

The solid line was calculated for the shown 120° electrodes . extended to the case of quadrupole lenses [14] . The basic idea here is that one defines an "effective field" that rises and falls abruptly at some "effective-field boundary" B where the position of this field boundary is chosen such that the integral along the optic axis over the "real field gradient g(z)" and over the "effective field gradient g*(z) [i .e . g *(z _

z*)=go]" are equal. Then trajectories are traced from outside the quadrupole into the main field for both field distributions where the trajectories traced through the effective field are bent and shifted slightly when they cross the effective field boundary . These bends and shifts here must be chosen such that the trajectories are identical in the main field, independent of which fringing-field distribution was used . In any case it should be noted that the focusing effects of quadrupole lenses are mainly due to the strength and length of the main field region while the image aberration are mainly due to the existence of the fringing fields [15] . The advantage of the method of fringing-field integrals lies in the fact that the largest integrals can be solved exactly as long as Laplace's equation is assumed to be correct throughout the fringing field. Consequently it is sufficient to solve the fringing-field integrals in some approximation for which the fringing field distribution must be known only roughly. The result of a calculation that uses fringing-field integrals is thus usually more accurate than a ray tracing procedure in which the field distribution is calculated by some finite element method that fulfills Laplace's equation only to perhaps three decimals .
