Essential resource covering the field of LIBS, with respect to its
fundamentals, established and novel applications, and future
prospects Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), presents in
two comprehensive volumes a thorough discussion of the basic
principles of the method, including important recently available
data which can lead to a better characterization of the LIBS
plasma. This extensive work contains detailed discussions on the
lasers, spectrometers, and detectors that can be used for LIBS
apparatuses and describes various instrumentation, ranging from
basic setups to more advanced configurations. As a modern resource,
the work includes the newest advances and capabilities of LIBS
instruments, featuring the recent developments of Dual-Pulse LIBS,
Femtosecond LIBS, and Micro-LIBS as well as their applications.
Throughout, the contributions discuss the analytical capabilities
of the method in terms of detection limits, accuracy, and precision
of measurements for a variety of samples. Lastly, an extensive
range of applications is presented, including food technology,
environmental science, nuclear reactors, nanoscience and
nanotechnology, and biological and biomedical developments. Sample
topics covered within the work include: Diagnostics of laser
induced plasma (LIP): LIBS plasma and its characteristics, factors
affecting the LIBS plasma, methods of enhancing LIBS sensitivity,
and LTE/non-LTE plasmas Instrumental developments in LIBS: light
collection system and spectral detection systems, handheld LIBS,
deep sea LIBS, and industrial sorters and analyzers Femtosecond
laser ablation: laser-matter interaction, laser absorption, energy
transport, ablation mechanisms and threshold, and plasma
characterization Micro-analysis and LIBS imaging: microjoule laser
sources, scaling libs to microjoule energies, micrometer scaling,
advanced applications, and future prospects Spectroscopic and
analytical scientists working with LIBS will find this wide-ranging
reference immensely helpful in developing LIBS instrumentation and
applications. Researchers and students in natural sciences and
related programs of study will be able to use the work to acquire
foundational knowledge on the method and learn about cutting-edge
advancements being made in the field.
