What Does SNMS Stand For?
SNMS stands for Sputtered Neutral Mass Spectrometry
Sputtered Neutral Mass Spectrometry (SNMS) is an advanced analytical technique used for surface composition analysis. It involves the sputtering of a sample surface using energetic ions, which generates neutral particles that are subsequently analyzed by mass spectrometry. This method provides high sensitivity and specificity for detecting and identifying materials at the atomic and molecular levels, making it applicable in fields such as materials science, semiconductor research, and surface chemistry. SNMS is particularly valuable for studying thin films and multilayer structures, enabling detailed insights into their composition and distribution.
