1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Richard Hervig <RICHARD.HERVIG@xxxxxxx> Announcing the Arizona State University annual *free* *Workshop on* *Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry* offered by our SIMS Community Facility and supported by the National Science Foundation and Cameca Instruments. The workshop will be held *January 8 â?? 10, 2025*. Limited to 15 on-site participants. Travel stipends ($500) are available to U.S. citizens who are registered Graduate Students in the USA. The 2025 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. Richard Hervig, Peter Williams, Maitrayee Bose, Christy Till, and Larry Nittler will lead lectures and discussions on the following topics: Basics of SIMS, NanoSIMS, and other SIMS Instruments; Sample Preparation Impacts on Data & SIMS Artifacts; Standardization Approaches (including Ion Implants); and more. Hands-on tasks will take you through the full SIMS experience: (1) sample preparation: the art of making indium mounts; (2) Collecting images for SIMS analysis sessions; (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.
