The importance of UHV for surface studies

UHV is essential for two principal reasons: a) it enable atomically clean surfaces to be prepared for study, and such surfaces to be maintained in a contamination-free state for the duration of the experiment and, b) it permits use of low energy electron and ion-based experimental techniques without undue interference from gas phase scattering.

To elaborate on these points, click here to look at the variation of various parameters with pressure.

Swiss Geologists order their first cutting-edge dynamic SIMS instrument

In a project financed by several Swiss Universities and to be based in the new Geopolis building, Faculty of Geosciences and Environment of the University of Lausanne, a top-end dynamic SIMS instrument will become the key piece of surface science equipment for Swiss geologists.

The University of Lausanne (UNIL), in partnership with several other national centers of higher education, have ordered an IMS 1280-HR SIMS. This advanced system features a large geometry ion microprobe delivering unequalled analytical performance for a wide range of applications: tracking geological processes using stable isotopes, dating minerals, determining the presence of trace elements, screening and analyzing large numbers of particles...

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry is a well-established and widely applied surface analytical technique with over half a century of history.

The new IMS 1280-HR combines the well-proven features of the former IMS 1280 with new developments oriented toward specific geosciences applications requiring very high mass resolution capabilities in both mono and multi-collection modes. This high resolution tool is considered the most advanced design in magnetic sector SIMS, and among the highest value stand-alone analytical instruments for scientific research.

The IMS 1280-HR is the only large geometry ion microprobe performing both microscope and microprobe imaging. Thanks to these superior imaging capabilities, the IMS 1280-HR is able to map the distribution of major, minor and trace elements or isotopes at sub-micron lateral resolution.
