Abstract
The technique of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) reportedly has great promise in the determination of local order structure of the top surface layer. A key possibility of this technique is that the composition and abundance of the cluster ions reflect to some degree the geometrical arrangement of reacted atoms on the surface. However, the information available in the cluster ions lies unused for lack of a coherent theory capable of explaining the way in which the cluster ions are formed. Probably the most important missing part of our understanding lies in the determination of whether or not the cluster ions leave the surface as intact species.
