Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Scanning atom probe was applied for molecular systems which consist not of covalent bonded materials but of free molecules. Using single walled carbon nanotube as solid supporter which produced a strong field on their protruding apexes, mass spectra of 16 of 20 common amino acids were obtained. The results suggested that the migration of molecules to the apex region of the support is required for stable analysis. The cooling down the temperature was not favored for the analysis of molecules examined here. A new dual trigger system was developed to apply voltage pulse and laser pulse alternately to an identical sample. The dual trigger analysis showed that the mass spectrum obtained by voltage pulse and laser pulse were different and the selective evaporation would be possible by controlling the sequence of triggers
