AN ACTIVE NITROGEN PLASMA ATOM RESERVOIR FOR LASER-INDUCED IONIZATION SPECTROMETRY

Abstract

A microwave induced, atmospheric pressure active nitrogen plasma has been investigated as an atom reservoir for laser induced ionization spectrometry. Discrete analytical samples were introduced into the active nitrogen plasma by a microarc atomizer. Both laser-enhanced ionization (LEI) and dual laser ionization (DLI) were carried out in the plasma plume that extended from the Beenakker cavity.
