The development of MeV secondary Ion mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT. The main aim of the research presented in this dissertation is to develop a novel imaging mass spectrometry technique that uses molecular desorption induced by heavy ions accelerated to kinetic energies in the MeV/u regime. Upon impact with a sample, heavy ions accelerated above the Bohr v...
