Isomer-Specific Mass Spectrometric Detection Via "Semisoft" Strong-Field Ionization
Time-of-flight mass spectra obtained for strong-field ionization using simply a transform-limited femtosecond laser pulse allows for quantitative characterization of the composition of an unknown mixture, including determination of isomeric composition. The approach is described and example applications presented.
