Two examples of RIMS processes
In the example on the left one photon resonantly excites an atom to an excited state and a second photon promotes the atom above its ionization potential. The example on the right shows a fully resonant three-photon RIMS process that terminates on an autoionizing level. Instrumentation Please refer to the introductory document on Mass spectrometry . Applications RIMS is useful for studying the electronic structure of atoms or molecules and to make quantitative measurements of analyte concentrations. Related topics:
