ToF-SIMS spectra of historical inorganic pigments: Lead-based pigments in negative polarity
Résumé
ToF-SIMS is increasingly used to analyze cultural heritage materials because it can simultaneously detect organic and inorganic materials while mapping them on a surface. The precise identification of a pigment in a specific layer of a painting or of remaining color on a statue can inform about the technique used or the time of manufacture as well as expose possible forgeries when anachronistic ingredients are identified. Reference spectra are required to confidently identify a given pigment using ToF-SIMS. This database focuses on eight lead-based historical inorganic pigments, manufactured following traditional recipes. Lead pigments have been widely used in painting until the late 19th century. Here, the negative polarity ToF-SIMS reference spectra using a Bi3+ primary ion species are presented.
