The Moon has no strong global magnetic field and only a tenuous atmosphere, so solar wind ions (∼ 95% H+, 5% He++) directly bombard the lunar surface, sputtering atoms and …
This volume is devoted to the physics, instrumentation and analytical methods of secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) in relation to solid surfaces. It describes modern models of …

The bulk diffusion of Ga in single crystals of Ge has been studied over a wide temperature range, 827-1189 K. The evaluation was performed using secondary-ion mass spectrometry …
This paper analyzes the main physical characteristics of the processes occuring when solar- wind ions interact with the surfaces of asteroids or minor planetary satellites, and discusses …
