The glow discharge as an atomization and ionization device: Progress report, May 1, 1985-August 31, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5812404
Brief summaries are given for the primary project, glow discharge mass spectroscopy (GDMS), and the spin-off projects, resonance ionization mass spectrometry and hollow cathode plume atomic emission and mass spectrometry. Major attention in glow discharge mass spectrometry centered on metals/alloys and powders requiring compaction. Glow discharge factors that affect or control the ion response of the samples were studied. Resonance ionization of the glow discharge was included to reduce or eliminate spectral interferences in GDMS. The hollow cathode plume was used in the analysis of metal alloys. (WRF)
