Abstract

Event-by-event bombardment and detection, coincidence counting, and the ion-neutral correlation method were used to study the dissociation of chromium/oxygen and chromium/oxygen/potassium cluster ions in the drift region of a reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The cluster ions were sputtered from potassium chromate and dichromate by the impacts of 252Cf fission fragments. The dissociation channel observed for the fragmentation of negative cluster ions was the emission of CrO 3 −. The positive secondary cluster ions decayed by shedding K +. Decay fraction measurements were also performed to gain information about the relative stability to secondary ion dissociation and/or neutralization.
