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 …

Gas cluster ion beams (GCIBs) provide new opportunities for bioimaging and molecular
depth profiling with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). These beams, consisting of …

An analysis is made of the sputtering yields of materials for argon gas cluster ion beams
used in SIMS and XPS as a function of the beam energy, E, and the cluster size, n. The …

Cluster ion beams have revolutionized the analysis of organic surfaces in time-of-flight
secondary ion mass spectrometry and opened up new capabilities for organic depth …

Ionised cluster beams have been produced and employed for thin film deposition and
surface processing for half a century. In the last two decades, kiloelectronvolt cluster ions …

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 …

Previous studies have shown that the use of a 20 keV water cluster beam as a primary beam
for the analysis of organic and bio-organic systems resulted in a 10–100 times increase in …

Using large gas cluster ion beams (Ar 1000-5000+), it is possible to desorb and transfer non-
volatile and active biomolecules (eg lysozymes, 14 kDa) for nanofabrication or mass …

The icy moons of the outer Solar System present the possibility of subsurface water,
habitable conditions, and potential abodes for life. Access to evidence that reveals the …

Argon Gas Cluster-Ion Beam sources are likely to become widely used on x-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry instruments in the next …
