Multi-modal characterization with secondary ion mass spectrometry on ZEISS ORION NanoFab
6 Nov 2019In recent years, ZEISS ORION NanoFab has been recognized for its outstanding capabilities in high-resolution imaging and nanofabrication. Based on the Gas Field Ion Source (GFIS) technology, it is capable of generating both helium and neon ion beams with very small spot sizes and high brightness, enabling high-resolution imaging and fabrication of structures with less than 10 nm feature size. While the secondary electrons released from the specimen provide unique contrast and a very high surface sensitivity, ORION NanoFab’s analytical microscopy capabilities remain limited.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.Surface AnalysisNanofabrication
