Fig. 8

The trajectorial particle data provided by the tracking algorithm are shown. a The x and y positions of a single particle trajectory are shown during the gap crossing between the lower grounded and upper DC electrode. The zoom-in shows individual positions separated by the frame rate of the high-speed camera. b The particle velocity of the same trajectory shown as a function of time is linear. This shows an almost constant acceleration. The mean acceleration value along the path is significantly more stable compared to a \(\pm 5\%\) corridor.
