Abstract
This paper describes an analytical procedure for determining the stoichiometry of BaxSr1–xTiO3 perovskite layers using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The analytical results of mass spectrometry measurements are compared to those of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). The performance and the limits of solid-state mass spectrometry analytical methods for the surface analysis of thin BaxSr1–xTiO3 perovskite layers – sputtered neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS) – are investigated and discussed.
