To provide a mass spectrometer capable of performing high-sensitivity measurement using water molecules. The mass spectrometer has a chamber in which a sample is disposed, an irradiation unit for emitting particles to the sample, and an extraction electrode which leads secondary ions emitted from the sample to a mass spectrometry unit, in which the irradiation unit switches a first mode of emitting primary ions for causing the secondary ions to be emitted from the sample and a second mode of emitting particles containing water molecules to be made to adhere to the sample and emits the particles to the sample.

Mass spectrometer and mass image analyzing system

Provided is a sample analysis method of irradiating a sample with a primary ion beam to analyze a secondary ion emitted from the sample by mass spectrometry, the sample analysis method including the steps of cooling a sample placed in a chamber; forming an ice layer on a surface of the cooled sample by discharging one of water and an aqueous solution to the chamber; and irradiating the surface of the sample with the primary ion beam with the ice layer being formed thereon, wherein an amount of the water forming the ice layer is 0.1 ng/mmor more and 20 ng/mmor less.

Method of analyzing sample using secondary ion emitted from sample and analyzer for performing analysis method

The following method is provided: a method of readily fabricating an electron-emitting device, coated with a low-work function material, having good electron-emitting properties with high reproducibility such that differences in electron-emitting properties between electron-emitting devices are reduced. Before a structure is coated with the low-work function material, a metal oxide layer is formed on the structure.

Method of fabricating electron-emitting device and method of manufacturing image display apparatus

An electron-emitting device includes an electroconductive member and a lanthanum boride layer on the electroconductive member and further includes an oxide layer between the electroconductive member and the lanthanum boride layer. The oxide layer can contain a lanthanum element. The lanthanum boride layer can be overlaid with a lanthanum oxide layer.

Electron-emitting device and display panel including the same

A method capable of easily and simply manufacturing a conductive member pattern such as a nano-size fine wiring or electrode is disclosed. Specifically, the disclosed method for manufacturing a conductive member pattern includes the steps of: forming an ion-exchangeable resin pattern on a substrate by using a photosensitive resin; making the resin pattern absorb a metal component-containing solution; and baking the resin pattern having absorbed the metal component-containing solution, wherein the width and the ratio 'width/height' of the resin pattern before baking are 1 &#x3bc;m or less and 5 or less, respectively.
