The third group of techniques consists of reacting a chloride with the nitrogen-hydrogen or ammonia plasma, as also used in cla ical synthesis. It has been originally tested in plasma torches dealing only with gas phase reactions, followed by condensation. We believe that this is probably the most reliable method for spectroscopic diagnostics of gas phase reactions. Exell et al. have obtained very fine amorphous...

The volatilisation (vaporisation) and dissociation of the sample usually require highly energetic conditions to be as complete as possible. This is essential to maximise sensitivity while minimising matrix interferences at the same time. The effectiveness of volatilisation, atomisation, and excitation is dependent upon the supply of energy to the sample and is characterised by different spectroscopic temperatures. They represent an important diagnostic tool for the characterisation of atomisation conditions in the plasma ...

Fundamental quantities, such as wavelengths and transition probabilities, determined using spectroscopy, for atoms and molecules are of direct importance in several disciplines such as astro-physics, plasma and laser physics. Here, as in many fields of applied spectroscopy, the spectroscopic information can be used in various kinds of analysis. For instance, optical atomic absorption or emission spectroscopy is used for both qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Other types of spectroscopy, e.g. electron spectroscopy methods or nuclear magnetic resonance, also provide information on the chemical environment in which a studied atom is situated. Tunable lasers have had a major impact on both fundamental and applied spectroscopy. New fields of applied laser spectroscopy include remote sensing of the environment, medical applications, combustion diagnostics, laser-induced chemistry and isotope separation.
