Abstract
RIMS is a powerful tool for elemental and isotopic analysis. This multistep laser photoionization process, when coupled with conventional mass analysis, can provide exceptional performance in detectivity, dynamic range, and discrimination against interfering species. These properties can be used to great advantage both in the analysis of conventional analytical materials and in the interrogation of interfacial phenomena. In this report we will discuss the use of laser desorption/ablation in combination with RIMS analysis. Laser desorption/ablation combined with resonance ionization mass spectrometry analysis is discussed for the analysis of conventional analytical samples, and for the study of optical damage events.
