(physics, analytical chemistry) The measurement of the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially any of several techniques used to analyze the structure of molecules; the measurement of spectra of things other than radiation, such as the masses of molecules and their breakdown products

plural of spectrometry

(physics) The field of study in which neutrons are used as a probe for measuring the excited states of nuclides.

(physics, analytical chemistry) An analytical technique that measures the mass / charge ratio of the ions formed when a molecule or atom is ionized, vaporized and introduced into a vacuum. Mass spectrometry may also involve breaking molecules into fragments - thus enabling its structure to be determined.

plural of mass spectrometry

(physics) A form of mass spectrometry in which ions are accelerated to extraordinarily high kinetic energies before mass analysis.

A form of analysis by mass spectrometry using particle accelerators.

(physics, chemistry) a technique of separating ions of different masses by measuring the time taken to traverse a fixed distance through a magnetic field

(physics) A technique used to visualize the three-dimensional structure of solids by employing an energetic ion beam to fragment the atomic or molecular constituents from a surface
