Question
What is TOF-SIMS and in what condition is it desirable to use?
Step 1
TOF-SIMS stands for Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry. It is an analytical technique used to analyze the surface composition of materials by sputtering the surface with a focused primary ion beam and detecting the secondary ions that are ejected. Show more…

What are the ion beams that are used in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and what are the reasons to use them? Why do we need to use standards for quantification in SIMS?
A- Describe, using your own words, the operational scheme of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) technique. B- Describe, using your own words, when a SIMS analysis is called Static-SIMS and when the analysis is called Dynamic-SIMS analysis.
How does an AFM differ from an STM? Why can graphite possibly be investigated with either instrument whereas diamond can only be investigated with an AFM?
