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 …

Rationale To discover the degree to which water‐containing cluster beams increase
secondary ion yield and reduce the matrix effect in time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass …

We report for the first time on significant molecular secondary ion yield increases by
modifying the chemistry of a water cluster primary ion beam. This was demonstrated using …

A study has been made of the fragmentation of three organic molecules,
fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-l-pentafluorophenylalanine, tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) …

This article reports the latest developments of our theoretical studies of gas cluster
bombardment of model macromolecular samples using molecular dynamics simulations …

The first angle-dependent measurements of the sputtering yield of an organic material using
argon gas cluster ions under a wide range of conditions are reported in order to develop an …

We investigate the capabilities and limitations of performing (quantitative) in‐depth
composition analysis of polymer: fullerene blends, using time‐of‐flight SIMS with large Arn+ …

Since molecular cluster ion beams are expected to have various chemical effects, they are
promising candidates for improving the secondary ion yield of Tof-SIMS. However, in order …

Over the last decade, cluster ion beams have displayed their capability to analyze organic
materials and biological specimens. Compared with atomic ion beams, cluster ion beams …

Cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry is now widely used for the characterization of
nanostructures. In order to gain a better understanding of the physics of keV cluster …
