Total ion yield

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012138",
  "term": "Total ion yield",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The count of ions of both polarities emitted from a sample per incident primary particle. It counts ions emitted rather than ions detected, so it does not depend on the transmission or detection efficiency of the spectrometer. In secondary-ion mass spectrometry it is the sum of the positive and negative secondary-ion yields.",
