[14p-B6-6] Secondary Ion Yields Produced by Vacuum-type Electrospray Droplet and Cluster Ion Beams
Keywords:Charged droplet, Secondary ion mass spectrometry, Cluster ion
In previous studies, we have developed a technique for electrospraying aqueous solutions in vacuum, which allows improving the performance as a practical cluster beam source for secondary ion mass spectrometry. In this study, the secondary ion yields produced by the vacuum-type charged droplet and cluster ion beams were compared for several biomolecular samples with a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer.
