The main result of this written dissertation is a mathematical solution to the problem of multiplex recording for high performance tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The prescription is to use a time-lag accelerator in the second stage to match the ion optical properties of the decay fragments to the requirements of...
Liquid surfaces are very abundant in nature. Despite the importance of the liquid
interface in general, experimental molecular-level data was almost completely lacking
prior to the last decade and a half. The intent of this work is to provide a means by
which experimental data on the composition of liquid...
