Announcing the Arizona State University annual free Workshop on Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry offered by our NSF-supported SIMS Community Facility and Cameca. The workshop will be held January 3 – 5, 2024. Limited to 15 on-site participants. Travel stipends ($500) are available to U.S. citizens who are registered Graduate Students in the USA. The 2024 SIMS Workshop will focus on using SIMS and NanoSIMS to determine concentrations of volatile elements in minerals and glass, dominated by the measurement of hydrogen and carbon (with mention of N, F, S, and Cl). The workshop will include experiential learning on the Cameca 6f and sample preparation techniques as well as a demonstration of the NanoSIMS 50L. Profs. Maitrayee Bose, Richard Hervig, Larry Nittler, Christy Till, and Peter Williams will lead lectures and discussions on the following topics: Basics of SIMS, NanoSIMS, and other SIMS Instruments; Sample Preparation Impacts on Data & SIMS Artifacts; Standard and Ion Implants; and more. Hands-on activities will take you through the full SIMS experience: (1) sample preparation: the art of making indium mounts; (2) Collecting images for SIMS session; (3) SIMS instrument calibration; (4) Data collection on the SIMS; (5) Data reduction and evaluation. A short research statement is required as part of this application (500-word max). Incomplete or partially completed applications will not be reviewed. Applications will be reviewed based on relevance of research statement to the topic of this workshop and career stage. Please apply on the following link https://forms.gle/howV9A8m4vGnm6Yn6 by October 31, 2023. Applicants will be notified by November 6, 2023, by end of day. Thank you for your interest in the SIMS Community Facility Workshop. Best, Meghan ______________________________ Meghan R.
