In recent years, explosive materials have been widely employed for various military
applications and civilian conflicts; their use for hostile purposes has increased considerably …

The low‐mass ions observed in both positive and negative plasma desorption mass
spectrometry (PDMS) of the high explosives HMX, RDX, CL‐20, NC, PETN and TNT are …

Mechanistic arguments relative to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass
spectrometry (MS) address observations that predominately singly charged ions are …

The systematic study of the temperature and pressure dependence of matrix-assisted
ionization (MAI) led us to the discovery of the seemingly impossible, initially explained by …

An astonishingly simple new method to produce gas-phase ions of small molecules as well
as proteins from the solid state under cold vacuum conditions is described. This matrix …

Although the ionization/desorption mechanisms in matrix‐assisted laser
desorption/ionization (MALDI) remain poorly understood, there is a clear difference between …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we perform a systematic study of cluster-induced
sputtering. Two model systems of diatomic molecular solids are employed, which have …

The oxides TiO, CrO, and CoO, formed by reaction of the laser-ablated metal atoms and O2
in excess argon during condensation at 10 K, have been laser desorbed/ionized from solid …

The detection of explosives is crucial for homeland security, environmental cleaning, and
military issues. As a new class of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are …
