Size distribution of positive and negative tellurium clusters in the size range from 2 to 56 atoms was investigated by secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Cluster ions were produced by the 12-keV Xe+ ions bombardment of a sample tellurium sheet and were mass-analyzed using sector-type double-focusing mass spectrometers. It was found that a discontinuous variation of cluster-ion intensity appeared at specific numbers of n. These numbers were 5, 8, 12, 15, 19, and 23 for positive clusters and 6, 10, 13, and 16 for negative clusters. The dissociation pattern was also investigated by an acceleration-voltage scanning method. It was found that Te2, Te5, and Te6 fragmentation events occurred at a large probability. Observation of specific fragmentation patterns suggested the existence of nonsequential fragment channels.

AbstractSecondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) with Gas Cluster Ion Beams (GCIB) was studied with experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to achieve a high-resolution depth profiling. For this purpose, it is important to prevent both ion-mixing and the surface roughening due to energetic ions. As the Ar cluster ion beam shows surface smoothing effects and high secondary-ion yield in the low-energy regime, the cluster ion beam would be suitable for the primary ion beam of SIMS. From MD simulations of Ar cluster ion impact on a Si substrate, the ion-mixing is heavier than for Ar monomer ions at the same energy per atom, because the energy density at the impact point by clusters is extremely high. However, the sputtering yields with Ar cluster ions are one or two orders of magnitude higher than that with Ar monomer ions at the same energy per atom. Comparing at the ion energy where the ion-mixing depths are the same by both cluster and monomer ion impacts, cluster ions show almost ten times higher sputtering yield than Ar monomer ions. Preliminary experiment was done with a conventional SIMS detector and a mass resolution of several nm was achieved with Ar cluster ions as a primary ion beam.

ABSTRACTTemperature programmed desorption (TPD) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) have been used to study the chemisorption properties of carbon monoxide on potassium predosed Pt. SIMS cluster ions (such as K+, K2+, KO+ and KCO+) were monitored to probe, K-CO interactions. Large changes in the SIMS yields are observed as the potassium coverage is varied. The SIMS results are correlated with previous work function change and TPD studies. Temperature programmed secondary ion mass spectrometry of potassium-containing ions indicates a local interaction between potassium and CO molecules.As typically observed on transition metal surfaces, two different CO TPD states are observed. The lower temperature state shifts to higher temperatures with increasing potassium coverage and to lower temperatures with increasing CO exposure. The high temperature CO state builds in with increasing potassium coverage and is accompanied by simultaneous potassium desorption. Evidence for the occurrence of both long-range (indirect) and short-range (direct) potassium effects on adsorbed CO is presented.
