Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

365
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....

Scanning Electron Microscopy

4.6K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Overview

2.8K
Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is an analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by analyzing the light emitted from excited atoms. In AES, atoms in a sample are excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from high-temperature sources, such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When these excited atoms return to lower energy states, they emit light at specific wavelengths characteristic of each element. The resulting atomic emission spectrum, which consists of...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

714
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.

Overview of Electron Microscopy

11.9K
The wavelengths of visible light ultimately limit the maximum theoretical resolution of images created by light microscopes. Most light microscopes can only magnify 1000X, and a few can magnify up to 1500X. Electrons, like electromagnetic radiation, can behave like waves, but with wavelengths of 0.005 nm, they produce significantly greater resolution up to 0.05 nm as compared to 500 nm for visible light. An electron microscope (EM) can create a sharp image that is magnified up to 2,000,000X.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.6K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

  • Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Science
  • Ultrafast Science
  • X-ray Spectroscopy

Background:

  • High-repetition rate, short-wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs) like LCLS-II produce complex pulses.
  • Characterizing these pulses non-invasively is crucial for understanding ultrafast light-matter interactions.
  • Existing methods may lack the necessary resolution or multi-dimensional capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and report on an angular array of electron time-of-flight (eToF) spectrometers.
  • To enable non-invasive spectral, temporal, and polarization characterization of single FEL shots.
  • To support angle-resolved, high-resolution eToF spectroscopy for ultrafast and nonlinear light-matter studies.

Main Methods:

  • An array of up to 20 eToF spectrometers was designed.
  • Spectrometers are arranged in a circular equiangular array and at specific angles to the X-ray propagation axis.
  • Each spectrometer features independent, minimally chromatic electrostatic lensing and retardation for high energy resolution.

Main Results:

  • The array enables simultaneous angle-resolved photo- and Auger-Meitner electron spectroscopy.
  • Designed energy resolution of 0.25 eV across a 75 eV window, adjustable from 0-2 keV.
  • The system allows for non-invasive, online spectral-polarimetry and polarization-sensitive attoclock spectroscopy.

Conclusions:

  • The developed eToF spectrometer array is optimized for the LCLS-II TMO endstation.
  • It provides unprecedented capabilities for characterizing FEL pulses and studying ultrafast phenomena.
  • The system supports advanced measurements like molecular-frame spectroscopy and attoclock experiments.
