An introductory manual that explains the basic concepts of chemistry behind scientific analytical techniques and that reviews their application to archaeology. It explains key terminology, outlines the procedures to be followed in order to produce good data, and describes the function of the basic instrumentation required to carry out those procedures. The manual contains chapters on the basic chemistry and physics necessary to understand the techniques used in analytical chemistry, with more detailed chapters on atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence, electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Each chapter describes the operation of the instruments, some hints on the practicalities, and a review of the application of the technique to archaeology, including some case studies. With guides to further reading on the topic, it is an essential tool for practitioners, researchers, and advanced students alike.

An example of the application of dynamic ion-exchange chromatography for the direct separation of rare earths is shown in Fig. 1.22. The sample was a sodium hydroxide leach solution from an aluminium processing operation and contained high concentrations of sodium, iron and aluminium. Due to matrix interference, these solutions could not be accurately analysed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. Fig. 1.22 shows the chromatogram when the sample was separated by dynamic ion-exchange...

A number of very useful and practical element selective detectors are covered, as these have already been interfaced with both HPLC and/or FIA for trace metal analysis and spe-ciation. Some approaches to metal speciation discussed here include HPLC-inductively coupled plasma emission, HPLC-direct current plasma emission, and HPLC-microwave induced plasma emission spectroscopy. Most of the remaining detection devices and approaches covered utilize light as part of the overall detection process. Usually, a distinct derivative of the starting analyte is generated, and that new derivative is then detected in a variety of ways. These include HPLC-photoionization detection, HPLC-photoelectro-chemical detection, HPLC-photoconductivity detection, and HPLC-photolysis-electrochemical detection. Mechanisms, instrumentation, details of interfacing with HPLC, detector operations, as well as specific applications for each HPLC-detector case are presented and discussed. Finally, some suggestions are provided for possible future developments and advances in detection methods and instrumentation for both HPLC and FIA.

The focus of this section is the emission of ultraviolet and visible radiation following thermal or electrical excitation of atoms. Atomic emission spectroscopy has a long history. Qualitative applications based on the color of flames were used in the smelting of ores as early as 1550 and were more fully developed around 1830 with the observation of atomic spectra generated by flame emission and spark emission.Quantitative applications based on the atomic emission from electrical sparks were developed by Norman Lockyer (1836-1920) in the early 1870s, and quantitative applications based on flame emission were pioneered by IT. G. Lunde-gardh in 1930. Atomic emission based on emission from a plasma was introduced in 1964. 

The use of a plasma as an atomisation source for emission spectroscopy has been developed largely in the last 20 years. As a result, the scope of atomic emission spectroscopy has been considerably enhanced by the application of plasma techniques. 

NMR) [24], and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy [25] are commonly applied methods. Analysis using mass spectrometric (MS) techniques has been achieved with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), with chemical ionisation (Cl) often more informative than conventional electron impact (El) ionisation [26]. For the qualitative and quantitative characterisation of silicone polyether copolymers in particular, SEC, NMR, and FT-IR have also been demonstrated as useful and informative methods [22] and the application of high-temperature GC and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is also described [5]. 

C.2. Mass Spectrometry. Like optical emission spectroscopy, mass spectrometry offers the ability to fingerprint and identify individual species in a plasma discharge or products in the effluent from a plasma reactor. Its most common application is the latter, and a diagram for effluent monitoring by... 

The most frequently applied analytical methods used for characterizing bulk and layered systems (wafers and layers for microelectronics see the example in the schematic on the right-hand side) are summarized in Figure 9.4. Besides mass spectrometric techniques there are a multitude of alternative powerful analytical techniques for characterizing such multi-layered systems. The analytical methods used for determining trace and ultratrace elements in, for example, high purity materials for microelectronic applications include AAS (atomic absorption spectrometry), XRF (X-ray fluorescence analysis), ICP-OES (optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma), NAA (neutron activation analysis) and others. For the characterization of layered systems or for the determination of surface contamination, XPS (X-ray photon electron spectroscopy), SEM-EDX (secondary electron microscopy combined with energy disperse X-ray analysis) and...
