Development of secondary ion mass spectroscopy using medium energy C$$_{60}$$ ion impact

Hirata, Koichi*; Saito, Yuichi; Chiba, Atsuya; Adachi, Masahiro*; Yamada, Keisuke; Narumi, Kazumasa

Time-of-flight (TOF) secondary ion mass spectroscopy was performed using primary C$$_{60}$$ ions with an energy range from several tens of keV to several hundreds of keV. Application of the spectroscopy to the analysis of a poly(amino acid) film revealed that characteristic peaks, necessary for identification of the amino acid in proteins, show higher intensities for medium energy C$$_{60}$$ (120 keV C$$_{60}^{+}$$ and 540 keV C$$_{60}^{2+}$$) impacts than those for low energy C$$_{60}$$ (30 keV C$$_{60}^{+}$$) impacts. This finding demonstrates that medium energy C$$_{60}$$ ion impacts are useful for highly sensitive characterization of amino acids.
