Characterization of nonspherical atmospheric aerosol particles with electrooptical nephelometry
Applied Optics
|March 12, 2010
Abstract:
An integrating nephelometer was adapted electronically to study the electrooptical properties of aerosol particles. The increase in light scattering coefficient due to orientation of nonspherical particles in the pulsed electric field and the decay of this signal were measured. Examples of the data for laboratory generated aerosols and atmospheric aerosols are presented.

01:22Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers. Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.
01:26Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
