Abstract

A method for the chemical analysis of molecules bound and bonded to solid surfaces is presented. The method includes the steps desorbing absorbate molecules or structurally significant fragments of these molecules by selective cleavage of a bond in an absorbate/substrate system using resonant excitation processes and detection of the absorbate species or its characteristic fragments using mass spectrometry techniques.
