Solvent‐Induced Surface Morphology Probed by NP‐SIMS

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surface morphology, that is, roughness and molecular arrangement, is known to have an impact on secondary ion mass spectra. The present study examines this issue using nanoprojectile secondary ion mass spectrometry (NP‐SIMS). NP‐SIMS involves bombarding the analyte with individual nanoparticles resolved in space and time and recording the ...
