An application of flash desorption techniques to solid electrolyte materials which yields a ''surface ion spectroscopy'' is described. The desorption spectra as a function of surface coverage for Na/sup +/ and K/sup +/ on Na-..beta..-alumina are presented as an illustration and show that there are marked differences in their behavior. The kinetics of the desorption process and its dependence on surface coverage are seen to yield abundant detail on the ion-surface interaction. (auth)
