Preferred Label : surface ionization;
Detailed label : surface ionization in mass spectrometry;
IUPAC definition : Takes place when an atom or molecule is ionized when it interacts with a solid surface.
ionization occurs only when the work function of the surface, the temperature of the
surface, and the ionization energy of the atom or molecule have an appropriate relationship.;
