TOF-SIMS measurements were performed using an ION-TOF IV compatible instrument equipped with a 25 kV [Bi.sub.3.sup.+] liquid metal
ion gun (IONTOF GmbH, Germany).
Chestnut Ridge, NY) instrument equipped with a [Bi.sup.m+.sub.n] (n = 1 to 5, m = 1, 2) liquid metal
ion gun. The instrument vacuum system consists of a load lock for sample loading and an analysis chamber, separated by the gate valve.
The latest industrial
ion gun from JDV Products Inc., Fair Lawn, N.J., is designed to neutralize and eliminate dust while effectively cleaning the surface of large plastic products.
Whereas an
ion gun radiates an argon ion beam, an FAB gun radiates a neutral atom beam of argon.
In SIMS, the excitation source consists of a vacuum chamber and an
ion gun. Placing the sample in a vacuum keeps the surface clean and allows for easy transport of ions through the instrument.
You terrorised them with an imitat
ion gun. These incidents left your victims shocked and traumatised."
In the case of SIMS, the probing beam is made of ions generated by an
ion gun. Commonly, gallium ions are the particular species used in the gun.
Along this line, results from recent RF
ion gun injection experiments were presented.
Next, atoms are shot by an
ion gun at an angle that push aside many of the surface carbon atoms, forming atomic-scale rows.
In cooperation with the Research Institute for Technical Physics and Materials Science in Budapest, Hungary, the capabilities of a new, extremely low energy
ion gun for precision ion-beam cutting or slope milling of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) samples is being investigated.
