Features of LIBS

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) features various assets and shortcomings worth considering in adopting it as the technique of choice for specific applications. The most salient advantages of LIBS for spectrochemical analysis are as follows  

By contrast, LIBS is subject to several shortcomings including the following  

All these features except advantage (i) are shared by laser ablation. Current research in LIBS aims at minimizing these shortcomings while preserving or improving its performance.

One of the most salient features of LIBS is that the multi-dimensional information it provides can be used to determine depth profiles and lateral distributions, as well as for... 

They have outstanding properties in comparison with conventional secondary batteries with aqueous acidic or alkaline electrolytes including nickel / cadmium, nickel / metal hydride and lead-acid secondary cells. The features of LIBs are as follows.
