Opis

Glow discharge optical emission spectrum is a technique with growing significance in the materials industry. This book covers the technique: theory, practice and applications at a level suitable for students and researchers alike and represents the combined contributions of over 30 specialists from around the world, all of whom are active in the field. The first chapter gives an introductory overview and subsequent chapters deal with the instruments used, their operation and method of analysis. The rest of the book is practical in its approach showing the full range of GD-OES capability.

Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (GD–OES) is rapidly becoming one of the most important techniques for the direct analysis of solids. This, the first book entirely devoted to the subject, represents the combined contributions of over 30 specialists from around the world. All contributors are active in the field and recognised internationally for their expertise and knowledge in GD–OES. The book begins with an introductory overview of the subjects, deals with the design of the instrument, its operation and analytical methods and describes in detail the complex plasma processes which occur inside the glow discharge source. The second part of the book is more practically orientated, showing the full range of uses for GD–OES from the bulk analysis of virtually any solid material to depth profiling within the first tens of micrometres of a variety of surfaces and coatings. Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry is intended for a wide audience of scientists, engineers and postgraduate students and will be a valuable and challenging reference work for both experienced users of the technique and newcomers alike.
