Samples for analysis were pressed into pellets, and results in air, Ar and He were determined. Alternative method, involving deposition onto adhesive tape was also demonstrated. Measurements were made using double pulse LIBS.
Element Detection Limit (ppm) Wavelength (nm) Other Wavelengths (nm) Calibration Method Calibration Range (ppm) Notes
F 5380.0000 (Stated) 685.6000 683.4nm, 687.02nm, 690.2nm Univariate Calibration 0.0000-140000.0000 Helium atmosphere on pressed pellets. Peak height was used for the calibration
F 13890.0000 (Stated) 685.6000 683.4nm, 687.02nm, 690.2nm Univariate Calibration 0.0000-140000.0000 Air atmosphere on pressed pellets. Peak height was used for the calibration. ~3x LOD in He
F 17490.0000 (Stated) 685.6000 683.4nm, 687.02nm, 690.2nm Univariate Calibration 0.0000-140000.0000 Argon atmosphere on pressed pellets. Peak height was used for the calibration. This is higher than Air or He LODs
F 32590.0000 (Stated) 685.6000 683.4nm, 687.02nm, 690.2nm Univariate Calibration 0.0000-140000.0000 Ar atmosphere on sample attached to adhesive tape. Peak area was used for the calibration. Other LODs for adhesive tape were significantly higher than pressed pellets
