The use of coincidence counting mass spectrometry to study the emission and metastable dissociation of cluster ions Conference Paper

abstract

• Coincidence counting and time-of-flight mass spectrometry were used to study the coincidental emission of ions from single fission fragment impacts from an inorganic solid. Removal of interfering peaks is possible by observing those ions in coincidence with a mass peak unambiguously representative of the sample of interest. The use of coincidence also allows a direct study of the correlation of ions and neutrals formed due to the metastable dissociation of ions while in the drift region of the spectrometer. Such studies allow insight into the structure of cluster ions, which can aid in relating the cluster ion composition and structure back to that of the original solid.
