Abstract
This paper presents a systematic study of pure inorganic binary salts using a time-of-flight (TOF) static secondary ion mass spectroscopy (S-SIMS) ins trument. The objective was to evaluate the method's capability to achieve m olecular speciation of binary salts. The results show the feasibility of di rect speciation in a deductive manner without the need for reference spectr a. Also ratioing intensities of specific high-mit cluster ions can differen tiate compounds with the same elements in different oxidation states. (C) 2 000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
