Abstract

The mass spectra of the beam emitted by a Au₈₂Si₁₈ eutectic molten metal ion source are investigated in detail as a function of emitter temperature. At the conclusion of the work it emerges that while Au ⁺, Si⁺, and Si⁺⁺ are the result of direct field-evaporation from the liquid surface, Au⁺⁺ forms by the post-ionisation of Au⁺. Cluster ions are most probably the product of droplet break-up.
