Abstract
SiO2-based materials of different porosity and surface states have bee n studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) under 308 nm ex cimer laser ablation. Sequences of SiO2-based negative ion clusters [( SiO2)(n)X](-) are observed and variations of their abundance distribut ions with sample properties ale studied. The unique roles of surface s tates in cluster formation are discussed.
