Sensitivity enhancement using chemically reactive gas cluster ion beams in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)

Matija Lagator et al.

Summary: By modifying the chemistry of a water cluster primary ion beam, significant increases in molecular secondary ion yield were observed, particularly for neutral and cationic drugs. The presence of chemically reactive species in the impact zone promoted the formation of secondary ions of both polarity, with similar molecular fragmentation from both cluster beams.

Argon cluster-ion sputter yield: Molecular dynamics simulations on silicon and equation for estimating total sputter yield

Peter J. Cumpson et al.

Summary: The article discusses the application of argon gas cluster-ion beam sources in XPS and SIMS instruments, presenting a semi-empirical 'Threshold' equation for estimating total sputter yield. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to explore the relationship between cluster size and energy-per-atom, with the modified Threshold model equation fitting the results well.
