Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular secondary ion formation under cluster bombardment: A fundamental review
TL;DR: In this article, a brief review is given regarding the application of cluster ion beams as desorption probes in molecular SIMS, and the general observation is that the efficiency of secondary ion formation, particularly that of complex molecular species, is significantly enhanced if polyatomic projectiles are employed instead of atomic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protocols for three-dimensional molecular imaging using mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: A protocol for three-dimensional molecular thin-film analysis is described that utilizes imaging time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and large-area atomic force microscopy and finds that the structured film exhibits a highly nonuniform erosion rate, thus preventing a simple conversion of primary ion fluence into eroded depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sputtered neutral silver clusters up to Ag18
TL;DR: In this article, neutral silver clusters Agn with n ≤ 18 sputtered from a polycrystalline silver surface under bombardment with 5 keV Ar+ ions were detected by means of energy resolved time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
VUV photoionization of sputtered neutral silver clusters
M. Wahl,Andreas Wucher +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of neutral Ag atoms and Agn clusters sputtered from a polycrystalline silver sample by keV rare gas ion bombardment was performed by a pulsed laser and detected by time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation of clusters during ion induced sputtering of metals
Andreas Wucher,M. Wahl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of neutral clusters during sputtering of polycrystalline Ag, Al, Nb and Ta surfaces was studied experimentally by non-resonant single photon postionization using a UV or VUV laser beam and time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
