These changes are intended to more accurately reflect the current state of analytical research in the analysis of metals, chemicals and materials. As a consequence, the title of the review and some of the section headings have been altered to reflect this. Significant areas of growth include the use of LIBS in remote

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…[2][3][4][5][6] A critical approach to the selection of material has been adopted, with only novel developments in instrumentation, techniques and methodology being included. It covers atomic emission, absorption, fluorescence and mass spectrometry, but excludes material on speciation and coupled techniques which is included in a separate review.…”

Advances in explosives analysis—part II: photon and neutron methods

“…Reviews within the past five years cover the different techniques [101,[165][166][167][168][169][170]. Recent work has revealed the effects of substrate and interferent dependence [171] on analyte classification and how selective sampling can enable surface sensitivity [172][173][174][175][176]. Effects caused by wind [177], thermal radiation [166,178,179], and different atmospheres [179][180][181] were also investigated.…”

“…Linear analysis was found to be insufficient, necessitating multivariate analysis [190]. Partial-least-squares discriminant analysis [175,178,191] and machine-learning classifiers with supervised learning methods [172,189,192] are two of the more common techniques. Combining LIBS with Raman spectroscopy has increased the ability to identify unknown materials at stand-off distances through sensor-data fusion (Fig.…”
