Analysis of lead-based archaeological pottery glazes by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

Effect of matrix temperature on the LIBS signal of Au

“…The main advantages of the LIBS technique over other spectroscopic techniques and specialized equipment in the geological eld are low cost, easy maintenance, no need to prepare samples in advance, and the possibility of simultaneous detection of multiple elements. 6,7 These advantages are widely used in various elds such as geological exploration, [8][9][10][11][12] metallurgical analysis, [13][14][15][16][17] marine exploration, [18][19][20][21] cultural relic identication, [22][23][24][25] environmental testing, [26][27][28][29] and nuclear material detection. [30][31][32][33] Harmon et al 34 summarised recent applications and analyses of LIBS technology in areas related to geological and environmental materials.…”

Discrimination of rocks by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy combined with Random Forest (RF)

“…Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), as an emerging spectral analysis technology, has been widely used in space exploration, archaeology, environmental monitoring, biomedicine, industrial process analysis, and other fields. 9–14 A high-energy laser focusing on the surface of the sample excites the plasma, and the emission spectra of plasma are processed to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis. LIBS technology can analyse samples at a high speed, with little or no preparation, and in situ , making it possible for efficient, remote, and extreme environment analysis.…”

Application of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for Depth Profiling of Multilayer and Graded Materials

“…A comparative analysis of the elements detected and their respective detection limits when using the LIBS technique versus the more conventional XRF technique is represented graphically in a periodic table in Figure 3. The ablation crater's depth can be measured using optical or electron microscopy [18], atomic force microscopy [19], or profilometry [20,21]. A depth profile of elemental concentration can be constructed by correlating the depth with the number of laser pulses and the gathered spectra.…”
