What Does SI Stand For?

SI stands for Surface Ionization

Surface Ionization (SI) is a physical process in which atoms or molecules at a solid surface lose or gain electrons, resulting in the formation of ions. This phenomenon is widely utilized in mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry for the detection and analysis of various chemical species. SI is characterized by its efficiency in ionizing volatile compounds and is particularly valuable in applications requiring precise measurement of low concentrations of substances.
