Electron Beam Induced Deposition (EBID) allows deposition of three-dimensional micro- and nano-structures of conductive and insulating materials on a wide range of substrates. The process is based on the decomposition of molecules of a pre-selected precurs ...
It is well known in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) that sample topography leads to decreased mass resolution. Specifically, the ion's time of flight is dependent on where it was generated. Here, using matrix-enhanced SIMS, it is demonstrated that, ...
NOVELTY - The plate has electrically conductive substrate (1) that is covered with light sensitive matrix (2). The matrix comprises light absorber, charge carrier, probe molecule and photo-sensitizer (3) arranged to oxidize probe molecule by irradiation of ...
We describe a new spectrometer for spin resolved photoemission from solids in the soft x-ray energy range. It is mounted on the ID08 beamline at the ESRF light source and consists of a time-of-flight (TOF) energy analyzer coupled to a retarding mini-Mott s ...
Structure and orientation of mols. are key properties of functionalized surfaces. Using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), here we investigate how to modulate these parameters upon the immobilization process varying the conditions o ...
Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings are becoming increasingly important due to their unique property combination [1, 2], including high optical transparency, improved scratch and abrasion resistance and excellent weathering, thanks to the synergism between t ...
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging is employed to characterize the surface of patterned noble metal (Pt) and titania (TiO2) thin films deposited on oxidized silicon wafers. ToF-SIMS is used to follow the different process ste ...
The incorporation of ceramide in phase-separated monolayers of ternary lipid mixtures has been studied by a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM), fluorescence, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Replacement of a fraction ...
Poly(propylene sulfide-bl-ethylene glycol) (PPS-PEG) is an amphiphilic block copolymer that spontaneously adsorbs onto gold from solution. This results in the formation of a stable polymeric layer that renders the surface protein-resistant when an appropri ...
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) has been used to probe the interaction of the anticancer drug cisplatin with oligonucleotides. The binding kinetics, the nature of the adducts formed, and the location of the binding s ...
