Notes:
Electron-stimulated desorption of neutrals from methanol-dosed 6063 aluminum alloy has been monitored by laser ionization at 193 nm wavelength. Primary electron energies were in the range 1-3 keV. Time-of-flight spectra for the neutral desorbate were characterized by a low value of the peak velocity (250 m s-1) and a non-Boltzmann form of the distribution. Neutral desorption was ascribed to the parent methoxy (CH3O) species, based on mass spectrometry of the laser-ionization fragmentation pattern as a function of intensity. Ionic desorption was dominated by H+, which was observed to have kinetic energy peaked at ∼3 eV. Approximate estimates of neutral and ion yields were made, based on ion-optical modeling of apparatus transmission characteristics.
