in mass spectrometry
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S06179
Takes place when an atom or molecule is ionized when it interacts with a solid surface. @I03183@ occurs only when the work function of the surface, the temperature of the surface, and the @I03199@ of the atom or molecule have an appropriate relationship.
