Over the last 10 or so years, developments in molecular se-condary ion mass spectrometry
(SIMS) have taken its capability into areas previously only demonstrated in dynamic SIMS …

This concise tutorial review provides a description of the current state of the art in the
application of time-of flight based secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) in the field …

Low energy ion scattering (LEIS) probes the elemental composition of the outermost atomic
layer of a material and provides static depth profiles of the outer ca. 10 nm of surfaces. Its …

Following from our previous Letter on this topic, this Article reports a detailed study of time-of-
flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) positive ion spectra generated from a …

A brief review is given regarding the application of cluster ion beams as desorption probes
in molecular SIMS. The general observation is that the efficiency of secondary ion formation …

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) allows the direct investigation of both the identity and the
spatial distribution of the molecular content directly in tissue sections, single cells and many …

Secondary ion mass spectrometry is commonly used to study many different types of
complex surfaces. Yet, compared with MALDI and ESI–MS, SIMS has not made a significant …

Significant events driving the development of SIMS over the last 50 years are reviewed. The
