Laser ablation mass spectrometry (LA‐MS) has always been an interesting method for the
elemental analysis of solid samples. Chemical analysis with a laser requires small amounts …

The paper is built up in two parts. First, a rather comprehensive introduction is given, with a
brief overview of the different application fields of laser ablation, focusing mainly on the …

This paper is a summary of the current knowledge of laser-generated aerosols under
atmospheric conditions. It is restricted to typical laser sampling conditions as they are used …

This completely revised second edition of the standard work has been expanded by some
twenty percent to include more information on the latest developments and new apparatus …

Progress in technology and so-ciety continually places new demands on analytical science
and more powerful and informative methods need to be developed. One among them is …

Atomic spectrometry remains one of the most powerful methods for the determination of the
elements and their compounds in a wide variety of types of samples and in widely differing …

In this paper, a review on microplasma discharges is conducted. The different types and
configurations used in microplasmas such as the Cathode Boundary Layer (CBL), Dielectric …

The expansion of aerosols generated by near infrared (NIR) nanosecond (ns) and
femtosecond (fs) laser ablation (LA) of metals at atmospheric pressures was explored by …

The paper describes past and present efforts in modeling of laser-induced plasma and
overviews plasma diagnostics carried out by pump-probe techniques. Besides general …

In order to investigate the physics of ion emission under an intense optical field, the ions
emitted from a laser-irradiated copper surface were studied by time-of-flight energy …
