While the quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) is an excellent tool to identify desorbed ions and<br />

energy thresholds in electron stimulated desorption (ESD) experiments, its analysis of the ion kinetic<br />

energy distribution is questionable. However, time of flight (TOF) is an excellent technique to<br />

analyse the ion energies by using the QMS as the driving tube for the time of flight. The simultaneous<br />

use of the ESDQMS and ESDTOF techniques yields excellent results in the determination of the<br />

ion nature, ion threshold, and ion energy distribution in the study of site defects of on the MgO(100)<br />

surface. Defect sites are identified by exposing the MgO(100) surface to D 2 O and H 2 18 O. Thus, the<br />

D and 18 O can be differentiated from the 16 O and H surface atoms. The energy of the exploring electrons<br />

varied from 200 to 600 eV, and an intensity of 100 nA was used to avoid surface damage. The<br />

sample charge was also studied as a function of the incident electron en energy.<br />
