Field desorption |
---|
This term is used to describe the formation of ions in the gas phase from a material deposited on a solid surface (known as an emitter) in the presence of an electric field. As this process probably encompasses ionization by field ionization as well as other mechanisms of ionization the term field desorption is not a precise one, despite its widespread acceptance. |
