“…Soft‐ and reactive landing of mass‐selected ions onto surfaces has become a subject of substantial interest due to its potential as a method for the highly‐controlled preparation of materials for a variety of practical applications and fundamental investigations in chemistry, physics, and materials science (Grill et al, ; Gologan et al, , ; Laskin et al, ; Wang et al, ; Johnson et al, ; Cyriac et al, ; Verbeck et al, ). Recent studies have suggested future applications of ion soft landing in the separation of proteins and conformational enrichment of peptides (Gologan et al, ; Wang & Laskin, ), production of peptide and protein microarrays for high‐throughput biological screening (Ouyang et al, ; Blake et al, 2004b; Volny et al, ), preparation of thin films for use in composite materials (Saf et al, ; Rauschenbach et al, ), characterization of redox‐active proteins (Pepi et al, ), chiral enrichment of organic compounds (Nanita et al, ), processing of graphene (Rader et al, ), deposition of carbon clusters (Loffler et al, ), and preparation of model catalysts through deposition of ionic clusters, nanoparticles, and organometallics (Judai et al, ; Vajda et al, ; Kaden et al, ).…”
