What Does SNMS Stand For?
SNMS stands for Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry
Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry (SNMS) is an analytical technique used to characterize surface compositions of materials at the atomic and molecular levels. It involves the sputtering of a solid sample with energetic ions, resulting in the emission of neutral particles that are subsequently analyzed by mass spectrometry. SNMS is particularly valuable in materials science, semiconductor research, and surface analysis, as it provides high sensitivity and specificity for identifying elemental and molecular species in thin films and surfaces.
