The application of molecular SIMS as a sensitive ionization source for nonvolatile and thermally labile molecules compares favorably with other new ionization methods in mass spectrometry such as field desorption (FD), Californium-252 plasma desorption (PD), fast heavy ion induced desorption (FHIID), laser desorp-... 

Ionization Methods/Processes. The recent development of several new ionization methods in mass spectrometry has significantly improved the capability for the analysis of nonvolatile and thermally labile molecules [18-23]. Several of these methods (e.g., field desorption (FD), Californiun-252 plasma desorption (PD), fast heavy ion induced desorption (FHIID), laser-desorption (LD), SIMS, and fast atom bombardment (FAB) or liquid SIMS) desorb and ionize molecules directly from the solid state, thereby reducing the chance of thermal degradation. Although these methods employ fundamentally different excitation sources, similarities in their mass spectra, such as, the appearance of protonated, deprotonated, and/or cationized molecular ions, suggest a related ionization process.

The technique introduced by the Macfarlane group was originally referred to as Coulomb ionization since the process of excitation was similar to the Coulomb excitation of nuclei by fast heavy ions. The term fission-fragment induced desorption (FFID) was used by Field and ChaiC to describe the technique without implying a particular mechanism. Other investigators, including Bo Sundqvist at the Tandem...
