Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A current generation time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS) will be used by a consortium of materials scientists to investigate specific materials/surface characterisation problems which have proved difficult or impossible to solve using techniques (including earlier generation SIMS instruments). The instrument, at ICI Wilton, is unique in the UK through a combination of its capabilities and accessibility. In particular, it can be used both for rapid high mass resolution spectrometry and high spatial resolution imaging. About eight projects, each requiring 2-3 days of data acquisition time plus associated data processing will be carried out. The materials to be investigated cover a diverse range from surface modification for biocompatibilisation and cell-recognition to electronic ceramics. The results will provide a basis for the justification of future access to similar instrumentation for those directly involved and to an overall assessment of the current technology for surface/materials characterisation for the community in general.
