Title: Multi-element trace analysis of solid samples using one-photon two-step RIMS

Abstract

In this study we have investigated the feasibility of multi-element analysis using a simple 1+1 photo-excitation/photo-ionization scheme. Although such schemes are usually far from ideal for optimum resonance ionization, they are the approach of choice if one wishes to maintain a simple, easy-to-operate laser set-up which is potentially suitable for routine analysis. In addition, we only made use of the second-harmonic tuning range of a single dye. While this limits the range of elements which are accessible in the 1+1 RIS scheme it further adds to the simplicity and allows for automation of sequential multi-element analysis.
