The plasma spectroscopy analysis for Iron induced plasma was carried out using a Q-switched Nd: YAG pulsed laser system. The Laser wavelength was (1064) nm, Emission spectra were obtained using different energies in the range (600-900) mJ. Electron temperatures are evaluated at different laser peak powers from Boltzmann (-1/KBT) and Suha equation, also, the electron densities are deduced using stark broadening. A limited number of suitable Fe lines are detected and the plasma parameters are discussed. The Electron temperatures of (Fe) are measured and were found to be in the range of (1.8–1.88) eV. It is observed in the case of iron the electron temperature is proportional with laser energy and the highest peak in (Fe) arrive at (55396.52). Keywords: Iron Plasma, Laser-Induced Plasma Spectroscopy, Plasma Parameters.

Abstract - Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is one method of atomic emission spectroscopy using laser ablation as an energy source. This method is used to characterize the type of amethysts that originally come from Sukamara, Central Kalimantan. The result of amethyst characterization can be used as a reference for claiming the natural wealth of the amethyst. The amethyst samples are directly taken from the amethyst mining field in the District Gem Amethyst and consist of four color variations: white, black, yellow, and purple. These samples were analyzed by LIBS, using laser energy of 120 mJ, delay time detection of 2 μs and accumulation of 3, with and without cleaning. The purpose of this study is to determine emission spectra characteristics, contained elements, and physical characteristics of each amethyst sample. The spectra show that the amethyst samples contain some elements such as Al, Ca, K, Fe, Gd, Ba, Si, Be, H, O, N, Cl and Pu with various emission intensities. The value of emission intensity corresponds to concentration of element in the sample. Hence, the characteristics of the amethysts are based on their concentration value. The element with the highest concentration in all samples is Si, which is related to the chemical formula of SiO2. The element with the lowest concentration in all samples is Ca that is found in black and yellow amethysts. The emission intensity of Fe element can distinguish between white, purple, and yellow amethyst. If Fe emission intensity is very low, it indicates yellow sample. Thus, we may conclude that LIBS is a method that can be used to characterize the amethyst samples.Key words: amethyst, impurity, laser-induced, breakdown spectroscopy, characteristic, gemstones

AbstractThe effect of nature and pressure of ambient environment on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and ablation mechanisms of silicon (Si) have been investigated. A Q-switched Nd-YAG laser with the wavelength of 1064 nm, pulse duration of 10 ns, and pulsed energy of 50 mJ was employed. Si targets were exposed under ambient environments of inert gases of argon, neon, and helium for different pressures ranging from 5 to 760 torr. The influence of nature and pressure of ambient gases on the emission intensity of Si plasma have been explored by using the LIBS spectrometer system. The plasma parameters such as electron temperature and number density were determined by applying Boltzmann plot and Stark broadening method, respectively. Our experimental results suggest that the nature and pressure of ambient environment play a significant role for generation, recombination, and expansion of plasma and consequently affect the excitation temperature as well as electron density of plasma. The surface morphological analysis of laser-irradiated Si was performed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Various kinds of structures, for example laser-induced periodic surface structures or ripples, cones, droplets, and craters have been generated and their density and size are found to be strongly dependent upon the ambient environment. A quantitative analysis of particulate size and crater depth measured from SEM images showed a strong correlation between plasma parameters and the growth of micro/nanostructures on the modified Si surface.

AbstractThis contribution reports on the characterization of laser-induced plasma generated from the surface of magnesium oxide dispersed in Poly (vinyl alcohol) (MgO/PVA) pellet using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. For this purpose, Nd:YAG Q-switched pulsed laser with energy ranging from 50 to 250 mJ, operating at both fundamental (1064 nm) and second harmonic (532 nm) was focused on the sample to generate plasma. Based on experimental results, emission lines of magnesium have been used to calculate the plasma parameters. The plasma electron temperature as a function of laser energy ranged from (8596–8900) K and (8000-8700) K, and the electron density from (1.12–1.8) × 10^16 cm^–3, (2.9–4.5) × 10^16 cm^–3 measured at 1064 nm and 532 nm, respectively. Although these values increased with the increase in laser irradiance, they showed different rates of increase with different wavelength dependency.

AbstractDevelopments in femtosecond laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) applications during the last two decades have further centered on innovative métier tie-in to the advantageous properties of femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA) introduced into LIBS. Yet, for industrially-oriented application like coal analysis, no research has exposed to view the analytical capabilities of fs-LA in enhancing the physical processes of coal ablation and the impact into quantitative correlation of spectra and data modeling. In a huge coal market, fast and accurate analysis of coal property is eminently important for coal pricing, combustion optimization, and pollution reduction. Moreover, there is a thirst need of precision standardization for coal analyzers in use. In this letter, the analytical performance of a one-box femtosecond laser system is evaluated relative to an industrially applied coal analyzer based on five objectives/measures: spectral correlation, relative sensitivity factors, craters topology, plasma parameters, and repeatability. Despite high-threshold operation parameters of the fs system, competitive results are achieved compared to the optimized analytical conditions of the ns-coal analyzer. Studies targeting the in-field optimization of fs-LIBS systems for coal analysis can potentially provide insights into fs-plasma hydrodynamics under harsh conditions, instrumental customization, and pave the way for a competitive next-generation of coal analyzers.

This study is devoted to tracing and identifying the elements available in bone sample using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The bone samples were prepared from the thigh of laboratory rats, which consumed 325.29 g/mol lead acetate having 4 mM concentration in specified time duration. About 76 atomic lines have been analyzed and we found that the dominant elements are Ca I, Ca II, Mg I, Mg II, Fe I, and Fe II. Temperature curve and bar graph were drawn to compare bone elements of group B which consumed lead with normal group, group A, in the same laboratory conditions. Plasma parameters including plasma temperature and electron density were determined by considering Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) condition in the plasma. An inverse relationship has been detected between lead absorption and elements like Calcium and Magnesium absorption comparing elemental values for both the groups.

Abstract This work represents a novel method to determine phosphorus (P) concentration in phosphogypsum (PG) waste samples using calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). A 50 mJ Q-switched Nd: YAG laser has generated the PG LIBS spectrum. Spectroscopic analysis of plasma evolution has been characterized by electron density Ne and electron temperature Te using the emission intensity and stark broadening for P I characteristic lines 213.61, 214.91, and 215.40 nm under non-purged (air) and purged (helium) conditions. It was found that both Te and Ne have significant changes linearly with P concentrations 4195, 5288, 6293, and 6905 ppm. The values of plasma Te and Ne increased from about 6900 to 10000 K and 1.1×1017 to 3.4×1017 cm− 3, respectively, for the non-purged PG. On the other hand, Te and Ne ranged from 8200 to 11000 K and 1.4×1017 to 3.5×1017 cm− 3, respectively, for the PG purged with helium. It is concluded that Te and Ne values represent a fingerprint plasma characterization for a given P concentration in PG samples, which can be used to identify P concentration without a PG's complete analysis. These results demonstrate a new achievement in the field of spectrochemical analysis of environmental applications.
