Trapping of slow-speed particles in a gas cell by the nonhomogeneous electromagnetic field intensifying with time

Author suggests and analyzes new universal trapping method of comparatively slow-speed particles of a rarefied gas medium in the potential well induced by the nonhomogeneous electromagnetic field increasing with time (up to some moment). Given method is especially effective at inelastic collisions of particles with walls of the gas cell when necessary preliminary slowdown of particles is possible for their following capture even to a highly shallow potential depth. Corresponding sufficiently compact and simple electromagnetic traps may be used for capture and accumulation not only slow-speed micro- and nano-particles in the high vacuum but also atoms and molecules of a rarefied gas in a cell.
