Cluster-induced desorption is a versatile tool for the investigation of surface adsorbates. During cluster surface collision, the system is heated to high temperatures on a very short time scale, thus activating reactions not accessible by means of conventional heating. As an example, fragmentation-free desorption of biomolecules as large as 6000 u from various surfaces has been demonstrated [1].
For surface adsorbates prepared wet-chemically from alkali halide solutions, we show that the surface configuration, especially the influence of water molecules, can be monitored by cluster-induced desorption. As long as the anions are effectively screened by a hydration shell, they are efficiently desorbed by means of cluster impact. To higher surface temperatures, the hydration shell is lost and a strong adsorbate-surface bond prevents desorption of the anions. Cations are seen to desorb from metals via a neutral desorption channel with subsequent charge separation in the cluster whereas only a positive signal is observed for desorption from insulators.
