We present an overview of IR laser resonant desorption (LRD) studies with special focus on
recent developments by our group. The resonant character of the laser desorption process …

Recent achievements of low temperature secondary emission mass spectrometry in exotic
fields of life sciences such as cryobiology are surveyed. Specific problems of molecular …

A hypothesis concerning FAB mechanisms, referred to as a 'bubble chamber FAB model', is
proposed. This model can provide an answer to the long‐standing question as to how fragile …

The dependences of ion currents on temperature (ion thermograms) obtained by monitoring
the abundance of different types of ions during the thawing of frozen samples of methanol …

Ion emission from water ice due to energetic particle bombardment is investigated in a
combined molecular dynamics and tof-SIMS experimental study. Specifically, emission of …

The results of investigation of decamethoxinum on matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometer using 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic …

Large H3O+ (H2O) n clusters, up to n≈ 100, were produced by IR laser resonant desorption
of an ice matrix using an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) at 3.1 μm. The velocity …

2. METHODS The LT FAB/SIMS results on frozen water solutions summarized in this work
were obtained using two types of instruments described elsewhere. LT FAB experiments …

The preparation of frozen samples, in which the heterogeneous structures differ on a scale
comparable to the dimensions of the zone excited by a single bombarding particle, has …

The main features of the secondary emission mass spectrometry probing of condensed
systems containing compounds of biological significance at low temperatures are …
