Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

  • Chapter
Polymer Surfaces and Interfaces

Abstract

Static secondary ion mass spectrometry provides information on the molecular composition of the topmost layer of a sample. It is mostly used as a complementary technique to determine surface composition, surface contamination or surface segregation of components. The time-of-flight technique enables high mass resolution also at the higher mass values needed for polymers.
