ATOFMS Publications by Topic

Listed below are publications based on measurements made with the in-house ATOFMS instruments in the Prather Group. Following those, publications based on results obtained by the commercial TSI ATOFMS, which are becoming more frequent, are listed. Some citations appear under multiple topic headings as they describe results that suit more than one topic. As the number of papers published using results obtained with the commercial TSI ATOFMS continues to increase it is likely that some will be missed by us. If one of your publications is missing from the list below please tell us about it (rcsulliv@ucsd.edu).
