“…Tritium and Li ( 6 Li and 7 Li) transport within neutron-irradiated functional intermetallic coatings, specifically Fe-Al alloys, are common concerns for their use in fission and future nuclear fusion applications [88]. Yu et al used a focused ion beam with scanning electron microscopes (FIB-SEM) to prepare lift-outs of intermetallic coatings for analysis by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and ToF-SIMS.…”

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an outstanding technique for Mass Spectral Imaging (MSI) due to its notable advantages, including high sensitivity, selectivity, and high dynamic range. As a result, SIMS has been employed across many domains of science. In this review, we provide an in-depth overview of the fundamental principles underlying SIMS, followed by an account of the recent development of SIMS instruments. The review encompasses various applications of specific SIMS instruments, notably static SIMS with time-of-flight SIMS (ToF-SIMS) as a widely used platform and dynamic SIMS with Nano SIMS and large geometry SIMS as successful instruments. We particularly focus on SIMS utility in microanalysis and imaging of metals and alloys as materials of interest. Additionally, we discuss the challenges in big SIMS data analysis and give examples of machine leaning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for effective MSI data analysis. Finally, we recommend the outlook of SIMS development. It is anticipated that in situ and operando SIMS has the potential to significantly enhance the investigation of metals and alloys by enabling real-time examinations of material surfaces and interfaces during dynamic transformations.
