β¦ Synopsis
The use of an autoneutralizing fast neutral SF, beam (FNB) for secondary ion quadrupole mass spectrometry of refractive samples has been demonstrated previously. Here, we demonstrate the FNB technique for generation and high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICRl mass spectrometric detection of ions from a wide variety of samples. Tbe fast neutral beam generates abundant secondary ions from both conductive and insulating samples for detection in an open-ended ICR ion trap, as demonstrated by representative mass spectra of methyl stearate, fluorocarbon polymers, gramicidin S, and fullerenes. Optimization of the FNB-FT-RX-MS experiment is discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on analysis of insulating materials which are not readily analyzed by ion-bombardment secondary ion mass spectrometry.

It is well-known that mass resolving power in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) can increase linearly with increasing applied magnetic field induction, B. Here, we show that eight other FTICR primary performance parameters theoretically also increase linearly (qu
Performance of energy resolved measurements of endothermic reaction and of collision-induced dissociation thresholds can be improved if relative or absolute cross sections are evaluated, rather than product intensities. The calculation of cross sections from measured ion intensities is shown for Fou
An efficient technique for generation of H\* (D\*) radicals in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry is described. The method allows the probing of the reactivity of gas-phase H\* radicals towards various ions isolated in the cell of an FTICR mass spectrometer. Results
