Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications

This book thoroughly covers the basics, process parameters, instruments, and applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). It explores the interaction between focused laser radiation and the measuring object, detailing the impact of multiple pulses on material ablation, plasma dynamics, and emission. These insights lay the groundwork for a quantitative analysis of multi-element composition in solids, liquids, and gases. This updated and expanded second edition introduces exci...
