| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We worked on the development of a 3-dimensional visualization technique for the distribution and concentration of the main constituent molecules on the surface and interface of organic/inorganic hybrid materials. In this work, using a high-intensity swift C60 ion beam and a highly accurate electrostatic quadrupole lens, we succeeded in focusing the swift C60 ion beam to a diameter of about 1um for the first time in the world. The time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was used as the analysis method. By using swift C60 ions, which have an extremely high spatter yield, as the primary ions of SIMS, it becomes possible to perform highly accurate analysis of main molecules of polymer materials, which was difficult with conventional ion beams. Demonstration measurements for inorganic materials, shown that the two-dimensional imaging of the molecular distributions constituting the materials can be obtained with high resolution at the micro-scale.
