Abstract
By scanning the accelerating voltage ( V) and the electric sector voltage ( E) in a conventional Mattauch-Herzog geometry mass spectrometer such that E 2/ V is constant a simulated mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectrum is obtained. The spectrum obtained by the linked scan technique is similar to a MIKE spectrum except that individual peaks are narrow and do not provide information about the kinetic energy release. The sensitivity of this method of scanning compares well with the MIKE spectrum but artifacts due to the transmission of ions of adjacent masses are observed and these place some limitations on the linked scan method. Nevertheless, as an inexpensive alternative to construction of an instrument with reversed geometry, use of the present method in molecular structural analysis is foreseen.
