Mika József: Analytical emission spectroscopy. Fundamentals (Budapest, 1973)

J. Mika and T. Török ANALYTICAL EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY FUNDAMENTALS Spectroscopic techniques have become important for determining a large number of chemical elements in a wide range of materials both solid and liquid. Optical emission spectroscopy can readily analyse most of the elements by modifying excitation procedures, optical systems and detectors. By means of special enrichment procedures very low detection limits are obtained. This capability makes emission spectroscopy a very powerful method with many of the advantages of similar techniques such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Recent developments, for example, involving the generation of emission by laser beams have added a new dimension which promises to find wide application in geochemical and metallurgical analysis. □ This volume deals with the fundamentals of optical emission spectroscopy. The basic theory of spectral analysis is followed by a detailed account of the various methods of excitation, including arc and spark sources and their control. Resolution of the resulting radiation by both prism and grating systems as well as interference devices are described in detail with sections on the efficiency and design parameters of various systems. A vital aspect of emission spectroscopy is the detection of radiations; methods of intensity measurement for quantitative analysis are discussed in detail. □ This volume should be indispensable to the analyst and research worker in many laboratories involved in trace element analysis. Chemists and biochemists, metallurgists and geochemists, public analysts and forensic scientists will find a great deal of information which is not readily available elsewhere.
