Two-dimensional observation of emission spectra excited from laser induced plasmas and the application to emission spectrometric analysis. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The spatial distribution analysis of emission signals from a laser-induced plasma can provide information on the excitation mechanism as well as on the optimization of the analytical conditions when it is employed as a sampling and excitation source in optical emission spectrometry. A two-dimensionally imaging spectrometer system was employed to measure spatial variations in the emission intensities of a copper sample and plasma gases when krypton, argon, or helium was employed under various pressure conditions. The emission image of the Cu I 324.75-nm line consists of a breakdown spot and a plasma plume, where the breakdown zone expands toward the surrounding gas. The shape and the intensities of the plasma plume are strongly dependent on the kind and pressure of the plasma gas, while those of the breakdown zone are less influenced by these experimental parameters. This effect can be explained by the difference in the cross-section of collisions between krypton, argon, and helium. The signal-to-background ratio of the Cu I 324.75-nm line was estimated over two-dimensional images to determine the optimum position for analytical applications. 相似文献

In order to investigate the emission behavior of singly ionized iron lines excited by a Grimm-type glow discharge plasma, we have compiled a wavelength table of the lines in the 160–250 nm region. Three different plasma gases (argon, neon, and argon-helium mixed gas) have been employed to compare the relative intensities of the ionic iron lines. It is found that the emission intensities of some line groups which appear in the wavelength range of less than 190 nm are especially dependent on the nature of the plasma gas employed. These excitations can be principally explained from charge transfer collisions between iron atoms and plasma gas ions. 相似文献

A nitrogen–oxygen mixed gas microwave-induced plasma (MIP) with an Okamoto cavity was utilized as an atomization and excitation source for emission analysis when organic solvent samples are directly aspirated. Compared with the pure nitrogen plasma (excitation temperature of 5650 K), the excitation temperature in the nitrogen–oxygen mixed gas plasma (5100 K) was reduced, and thus, the detection sensitivity of ionic emission lines requiring higher excitation energy was degraded. However, nitrogen–oxygen mixed gases could produce the very stable microwave-induced plasma with a high robustness against the loading of ethanol solution. This effect might be because the organic solvent was completely burned in the oxygen-containing plasma. The excitation temperature was almost independent of the ethanol content in sample solutions, implying that the analytical performance was less effected by introducing organic solvent samples. 相似文献

The emission characteristics of ionic lines of nickel, cobalt, and vanadium were investigated when argon or krypton was employed
as the plasma gas in glow discharge optical emission spectrometry. A dc Grimm-style lamp was employed as the excitation source.
Detection limits of the ionic lines in each iron-matrix alloy sample were compared between the krypton and the argon plasmas.
Particular intense ionic lines were observed in the emission spectra as a function of the discharge gas (krypton or argon),
such as the Co II 258.033 nm for krypton and the Co II 231.707 nm for argon. The explanation for this is that collisions with
the plasma gases dominantly populate particular excited levels of cobalt ion, which can receive the internal energy from each
gas ion selectively, for example, the 3d74p 3G5 (6.0201 eV) for krypton and the 3d74p 3G4 (8.0779 eV) for argon. In the determination of nickel as well as cobalt in iron-matrix samples, more sensitive ionic lines
could be found in the krypton plasma rather than the argon plasma. Detection limits in the krypton plasma were 0.0039 mass%
Ni for the Ni II 230.299-nm line and 0.002 mass% Co for the Co II 258.033-nm line. However, in the determination of vanadium,
the argon plasma had better analytical performance, giving a detection limit of 0.0023 mass% V for the V II 309.310-nm line. 相似文献

The emission characteristics of nickel ionic lines in low-pressure laser-induced plasmas are investigated when argon, krypton, nitrogen, or air gas was employed as the plasma gas. The spectrum patterns and the relative intensities of the ionic lines are measured with and without a blind cylinder surrounding the sample surface to separate the detected emission area into two portions roughly: an initial breakdown zone and an expansion zone of the plasma. Their emission intensities are strongly dependent on both the kind and the pressure of the plasma gas. Different major ionic lines are observed in the argon and the krypton plasmas: for example, the Ni II 230.010-nm line (8.25 eV) for argon and the Ni II 231.604-nm line (6.39 eV) for krypton. The excitation mechanism of these ionic lines is considered to be a resonance charge-transfer collision with argon or krypton ion due to good energy matching to the corresponding energy levels of nickel ion. These ionic lines measured with the blind cylinder at reduced pressures of around 1300 Pa give the largest signal-to-background ratios; therefore, the analytical application under such optimum plasma conditions is recommended. 相似文献

Glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES) with mixed plasma gases is reviewed. The major topic is the effect of type and content of gases added to an argon plasma on the emission characteristics as well as the excitation processes. Emphasis is placed on argon–helium, argon–oxygen, and argon–nitrogen mixed gas plasmas. Results for non-argon-matrix plasmas, such as neon–helium and nitrogen–helium mixtures, are also presented. Apart from the GD-OES, glow discharge mass spectrometry and furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry with mixed plasma gases are also discussed. 相似文献

A two-dimensionally imaging spectrometer system was employed to measure spatial variations in the intensities of emission lines in a Cu-Mn-Ni alloy sample when they were excited from a laser-induced plasma with krypton gas. The emission zone of these lines shrank and had greater emission intensities with increasing gas pressure, and the intensities of their background also became more intense. It was thus found that the optimum observation zone for the analytical application varied with the pressure of the plasma gas. The two-dimensional distribution of the signal-to-background ratio for each analytical line was investigated to determine the measuring conditions for the emission analysis, indicating that the spatially-resolved measurement was generally superior to the conventional spatially-integrated measurement over the plasma region. 相似文献

The emission characteristics of nickel ionic lines in a glow discharge plasma are investigated when argon or krypton was employed as the plasma gas. Large difference in the relative intensities of nickel ionic lines which are assigned to the 3d84p–3d84s transition is observed between the krypton plasma and the argon plasma. Different intense Ni II lines appear in the krypton spectrum and in the argon spectrum, such as the Ni II 231.601 nm for Kr and the Ni II 230.009 nm for Ar. The excitation energy of these Ni II emission lines can give a key in considering their excitation mechanisms. The explanation for these experimental results is that charge-transfer collisions between nickel atom and the plasma gas ion play a major role in exciting the 3d84p excited levels of nickel ion. The conditions for energy resonance in the charge-transfer collision determine particular energy levels having much larger population; for example, the 3d84p 4D7/2 level (6.39 eV) for Kr and the 3d84p 4P5/2 level (8.25 eV) for Ar. 相似文献

When a small amount of argon is added to the helium plasma in a Grimm-type glow discharge radiation source, the interaction between helium and argon species is investigated from analyzing the intensities of emission lines of of argon ion (ArII). The excitation energy as well as the term multiplicity concerning the optical transitions to which the ArII emission lines are identified are significant factors for determining their emission intensities in the helium-matrix plasma. In the case where the excitation energy of ArII lines is higher than the internal energy of the helium metastable states, the emission intensity in the helium-matrix plasma is observed to be much weaker than that obtained only with argon gas. On the other hand, the intensity is enhanced when the excitation energy is slightly lower. In the excited levels of argon ion having quartet multiplicity, closer interactions with the triplet rather than the singlet metastable level of helium atom are recognized, with the singlet helium metastable in the argon excited levels having doublet multiplicity. 相似文献

Time- and spatially-resolved spectroscopy is used to study the early-time spectral features of the plasmas produced by high-current, capacitive discharges through thin silver films. Spectra are compared for several support gases including CO2, He, and an Ar/O2 mixture. All measurements were made during the first 40 μs of the discharge. At atmospheric pressure for all three gases, spectra from support gas species show intense lines for only a brief interval between 10 and 30 μs after the start of the discharge. Greatest intensity from silver lines always occurs at the film surface; while greatest intensity from support gas species occurs about 2.0 mm from the film surface. A magnetic field of a few kG normal to the electric field in the plasma and parallel to the thin film surface almost completely eliminates spectral lines from the support gas species. 相似文献

Single-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been performed on the surface of a bulk water sample in an air, argon, and nitrogen gas environment to investigate emissions from hydrogen-containing molecules. A microplasma was formed at the gas/liquid interface by focusing a Nd:YAG laser beam operating at 1064 nm onto the surface of an ultra-pure water sample. A broadband Echelle spectrometer with a time-gated intensified charge-coupled device was used to analyze the plasma at various delay times (1.0–40.0 μs) and for incident laser pulse energies ranging from 20–200 mJ. In this configuration, the dominant atomic spectral features at short delay times are the hydrogen H-alpha and H-beta emission lines at 656 and 486 nm, respectively, as well as emissions from atomic oxygen liberated from the water and air and nitrogen emission lines from the air bath gas. For delay times exceeding approximately 8 μs the emission from molecular species (particularly OH and NH) created after the ablation process dominates the spectrum. Molecular emissions are found to be much less sensitive to variations in pulse energy and exhibit a temporal decay an order of magnitude slower than the atomic emission. The dependence of both atomic hydrogen and OH emission on the bath gas above the surface of the water was studied by performing the experiment at standard pressure in an atmospheric purge box. Electron densities calculated from the Stark broadening of the H-beta and H-gamma lines and plasma excitation temperatures calculated from the ratio of H-beta to H-gamma emission were measured for ablation in the three bath gases. 相似文献

A Boltzmann plot for many iron atomic lines having excitation energies of 3.3–6.9 eV was investigated in glow discharge plasmas when argon or neon was employed as the plasma gas. The plot did not show a linear relationship over a wide range of the excitation energy, but showed that the emission lines having higher excitation energies largely deviated from a normal Boltzmann distribution whereas those having low excitation energies (3.3–4.3 eV) well followed it. This result would be derived from an overpopulation among the corresponding energy levels. A probable reason for this is that excitations for the high-lying excited levels would be caused predominantly through a Penning-type collision with the metastable atom of argon or neon, followed by recombination with an electron and then stepwise de-excitations which can populate the excited energy levels just below the ionization limit of iron atom. The non-thermal excitation occurred more actively in the argon plasma rather than the neon plasma, because of a difference in the number density between the argon and the neon metastables. The Boltzmann plots yields important information on the reason why lots of Fe I lines assigned to high-lying excited levels can be emitted from glow discharge plasmas. 相似文献

Glow discharge plasmas with helium–(0–16%) nitrogen mixed gas were investigated as an excitation source in optical emission spectrometry. The addition increases the sputtering rate as well as the discharge current, because nitrogen molecular ions, which act as primary ions for the cathode sputtering, are produced through Penning-type ionization collisions between helium metastables and nitrogen molecules. The intensity of a silver atomic line, Ag I 338.29 nm, is monotonically elevated along with the nitrogen partial pressure added. However, the intensities of silver ionic lines, such as Ag II 243.78 nm and Ag II 224.36 nm, gave different dependence from the intensity of the atomic line: Their intensities had maximum values at a nitrogen pressure of 30 Pa when the helium pressure and the discharge voltage were kept at 2000 Pa and 1300 V. This effect is principally because the excitations of these ionic lines are caused by collisions of the second kind with helium excited species such as helium metastables and helium ion, which are quenched through collisions with nitrogen molecules added to the helium plasma. The sputtering rate could be controlled by adding small amounts of nitrogen to the helium plasma, whereas the cathode sputtering hardly occurs in the pure helium plasma. 相似文献

The effect of hydrogen gas on the plasma and its influence on acid interferences in plasma atomic emission spectrometry was studied. The study was performed with HCl and HNO3 in the concentration range of 0–2 mol l−1. Vanadium and magnesium were used as test elements, the study was extended to other several elements. The effects of hydrogen gas on the plasma were studied by measuring excitation temperature, electron number density and the ionic-to-atomic line intensity ratio. The net effect of hydrogen was an increase in electron density and ionic to atomic line intensity ratio. A small increase in the excitation temperature was observed. The signal suppression for ionic lines causes by mineral acid was reduced when small amounts of hydrogen was introduced into the plasma as sheathing gas. This effect was attributed to the increase in plasma electron density. 相似文献

By using an ICP optical emission spectrometer having two different observation modes, the authors compared the spectrochemical characteristics of various emission lines as viewed from the axial direction and the direction radial to the long axis of the plasma. The excitation temperature, the emission intensity, and the degree of ionization were investigated when iron and chromium were employed as the test sample and further potassium was added as an interfering element. These observations could lead to a similar conclusion that the emission intensities from the axial direction were more easily affected by the potassium addition. The reason for this effect is probably because the portion of the plasma observed from the axial direction includes the tail zone which is apart from the induction zone and thus has lower temperatures. On the other hand, in the radial observation, one can observe the emission intensities from a narrow portion of the plasma just above the load coil. The axial observation mode gave better analytical performance, including a lower detection limit as well as a better signal-to-background ratio, compared to the radial observation mode. However, interferences from co-existing elements should be noted if the axial observation is employed in practical applications. 相似文献

A vertically movable horizontal slit driven by a computer-controlled stepping motor was placed close to the front of the entrance slit of a monochromator. The axial channel of the plasma being imaged onto the entrance slit, the observation height was scanned by slicing the image of the plasma with the horizontal slit. Excitation and gas temperature profiles were calculated under various operating conditions from emission profiles of Fe I and OH lines, respectively. From the axial emission and temperature profiles, two excitational regions governed by different excitation mechanisms were postulated along the axis of the plasma. In the first region from 0 to 8 mm above the load coil, low-energy lines were predominantly excited and their emission profiles were controlled mainly by the dissociation rate of molecules. In the second region from 10 to 20mm above the load coil, high-energy lines were predominant and volatilization interferences were small. 相似文献

The study of a method, devoted to real-time detection of metallic pollutants present in stack gas, is investigated. This method is based on spectroanalysis using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission system without external calibration. The fluidized bed technology is employed to inject metallic species into the ICP emission. The mass fluxes of copper oxide (CuO) are then determined by using the intensity ratios of the metallic element spectral lines with those of the plasma gas element (argon or dry air). These ratios and the plasma characteristics (atomic excitation temperature, degree of thermal disequilibrium θ=Te/Th) are inserted into a calculation code of plasma composition to determine the mass flux. The results are in good agreement using either argon plasma or dry air plasma. A study of the fluidized bed properties is made to compare our values with those resulting from the elutriation calculation of the copper oxide. 相似文献

A diagnostic measurement system based on atomic emission spectroscopy has been developed for the purpose of on-line monitoring of hazardous elements in industrial combustion gases. The aim was to construct a setup with a high durability for rough and variable experimental conditions, e.g. a strongly fluctuating gas composition, a high gas temperature and the presence of fly ash and corrosive effluents. Since the setup is primarily intended for the analysis of combustion gases with extremely high concentrations of pollutants, not much effort has been made to achieve low detection limits. It was found that an inductively coupled argon plasma was too sensitive to molecular gas introduction. Therefore, a microwave induced plasma torch, compromising both the demands of a high durability and an effective evaporation and excitation of the analyte was used as excitation source. The analysis system has been installed at an industrial hazardous waste incinerator and successfully tested on combustion gases present above the incineration process. Abundant elements as zinc, lead and sodium could be easily monitored. 相似文献

A laser-induced plasma generated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser under evacuated conditions has complicated structures both temporally and spatially. The time-resolved spectra of copper in three different wavelength regions were observed in detail for elucidating the excitation mechanisms of many atomic/ionic copper emission lines. The emission intensities of copper emission lines, measured in a time-resolved mode, were strongly dependent on the kind of copper lines: ionic or atomic lines, and their excitation energies. Generally, copper ionic lines were rapidly decayed and dominantly emitted from the initial breakdown zone, because the copper ions requiring larger excitation energies were produced mainly in the hot breakdown zone. On the other hand, the atomic lines were emitted during prolonged periods, implying that they could also be excited in the expanded plasma zone. The excitation phenomena occurring in the laser-induced plasma could be better understood by analyzing the time-resolved copper spectra. 相似文献
