“…The techniques like LIMS, SSMS, etc. were previously considered (Adams & Vertes, 1990; Becker & Dietze, 1998; Ganeev et al, 2016). For more details on all inorganic MS techniques, the reader is referred to the review by Becker & Dietze (1998).…”

The determination of nonmetals, first of all, the most electronegative ones—nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, poses the highest challenge for element analysis. These elements are characterized by high reactivity, volatility, high ionization energy, and the absence of intensive spectral lines in the optical spectral range. Conventional techniques of their quantification include considerable “wet chemistry” stages so the application of these techniques for the solid sample is highly laborious and prone to uncontrollable uncertainties. Additionally, current development in material science and other areas requires the quantification of the elements at lower levels with good sensitivity. Owing to their robustness and flexibility, mass spectrometry techniques provide vast possibilities for the quantification, spatial and isotopic analysis, including the solutions for direct analysis of solids. The current review focuses on the application of major mass spectrometric techniques for the quantification of N, O, F, Cl, and Br in solid samples. The following techniques are mainly considered: thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), isotope‐ratio MS (IRMS), secondary ion MS (SIMS), inductively coupled plasma MS (ICP‐MS), and glow discharge MS (GDMS); as the most accessible and widely applied for the purpose. General ionization issues, advantages, limitations, and novel methodological solutions are discussed. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

“…The primary goal of LIMS in the current day research is the analysis of the surfaces of inorganic materials, which can be performed using the instruments of a compact design that may also offer a possibility of surface imaging and depth profiling applications (Becker & Dietze, 1992;Ganeev et al, 2016;Yu et al, 2009b). As discussed in the first section of the review, assessment of the capabilities and calibration of the new instruments is commonly performed using standardized solid metal or inorganic samples.…”

Laser ionization mass spectrometry (LIMS) was one of the first practical methods developed for in situ analysis of the surfaces of solid samples. This review will encompass several aspects related to this analytical method. First, we will discuss the process of laser ionization, the influence of the laser type on its performance, and imaging capabilities of this method. In the second chapter, we will follow the historic development of LIMS instrumentation. After a brief overview of the first-generation instruments developed in 1960-1990 years, we will discuss in detail more recent designs, which appeared during the last 2-3 decades. In the last part of our review, we will cover the recent applications of LIMS for surface analysis. These applications include various types of analyses of solid inorganic, organic, and heterogeneous samples, often in combination with depth profiling and imaging capability.

“…Laser ionization mass spectrometry is an increasingly popular method of elemental and isotopic analysis, and a number of reviews were recently published. [1][2][3] Several advantages of laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry allow one to apply the method for semiquantitative multielemental analysis of both organic and unorganic samples. [4][5][6][7][8] Modeling of mass analyzers is the first stage of timeof-flight mass spectrometers design process.…”

This article offers a new approach to computer modeling of time-of-flight analyzers of mass spectrometers. The main feature of the model is comprehensive tracking of the processes from the laser plasma generation until the final stage, on which the isotopic or elemental composition is determined for the analyzed solid sample. Apart from usual models based on SIMION-8 3D or similar software, this article proposes fundamentally new modeling stages. These stages are (1) generation and spread of laser plasma, (2) formation of the ion packages, (3) ion detection, and (4) formation and processing of the analytical signals. In order to provide consistent modeling of all the stages, special software units were developed. Program control of the analyzer ion optics (electrodes voltages) allows scan of mass spectra by ion energy. Additional complex of the programs provides simulation of mass spectra digitization, summation of digitized mass spectra for a wide range of variable parameters, and consideration of the discriminatory effects. According to the data, the software calculates ion-optical characteristics of the analyzer and the analytical parameters of measurement results.
