Abstract: An ion source is provided that includes a structured sample and a method for the ionization and/or its enhancement is provided, which preferably relies on field emission and/or field ionization processes. These processes can be brought about by structures with appropriate geometries, which cause a high electric field gradient at or near the sample.
