Причина отмены This guide provides time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) users with a method for forms of interpretation of mass spectral data. This guide is applicable to most ToF-SIMS instruments and may or may not be applicable to other forms of secondary icon mass spectrometry (SIMS).

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E42 on Surface Analysis, this guide was withdrawn in January 2018 in accordance with Section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

Interpretation of static SIMS mass spectral data can be complicated due to the complexity and density of data obtained and therefore, variability often occurs when users are not consistent in their methods of data interpretation This guide is intended to help avoid these inconsistencies, by discussing the most commonly observed scenarios in static SIMS analysis and how to approach these scenarios.

This guide can be used as a training guide for employees or students, or both.
