18 O-enriched SiO 2 thin film with the 16 O: 18 O ratio of around 1:1 has been analyzed by laser-assisted atom probe tomography (LA-APT) using 343 nm-wavelength ultraviolet laser or 532 nm-wavelength green laser in order to investigate the quantitativeness of the oxygen concentration determined by LA-APT. No clear evidence for detecting 16 O 18 O ++ signals was found in mass spectra, implying that the peaks at mass/charge of 16 and 18 are dominated by O + , not by O 2 ++. The calculated elemental composition indicated significant loss of oxygen in LA-APT analysis of SiO 2 .

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
