Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy: a unique analytical tool for the geosciences

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: a New Tool for Process Control

Many industrial activities require adequate and timely evaluation of material composition. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has, in recent years, shown a great potential for rapid qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of various materials. In this paper, we will illustrate the usefulness of the LIBS technique for elemental analysis at different scales: from depth profilometr...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...
