well as practicalities for geological sample analyses of Li alongside a discussion of potential geological use cases of the HIM–SIMS instrument.
Keywords: geoscience; helium ion microscopy (HIM); lithium; secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS); Introduction
The helium ion microscope (HIM) is a
HIM–SIMS using Li as a test element. The choice of Li is particularly relevant for geoscience applications as it represents a key geological resource for green energy storage, a challenge to the commonly used scanning electron microscope (SEM)-based microanalysis methods, which rely on energy
