摘要
C-84(+) and coronene (C24H12+) have been studied as primary ions for use in secondary ion mass spectrometry. A representative range of samples has been used to compare the effectiveness of each primary ion with the existing C-60(+), Au+, and Au3+ primary ions. It was found that C-84 is the most effective primary ion providing higher secondary ion yields and a high molecular to fragment ion ratio. Coronene had a performance similar to C-60. Coronene and C-60 primary ions were also used to extend a previous study of matrix suppression/enhancement effects. The C-60 was found to ameliorate this effect, possibly due to the increase in protonation in polyatomic sputtering, and coronene was found to further reduce suppression showing evidence of a chemical effect.
