Magnetic field enhancement for femtosecond-laser-ablation mass spectrometry in ambient environments

Abstract

To improve the sensitivity of open-air femtosecond-laser-ablation mass spectrometry (fs-LA-MS), an external magnetic field was introduced to confine the propagation of the plasma, reduce the plasma neutralization rates, and drive charged particles towards the MS orifice.
