Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

269
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....

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

822
An atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) comprises several components: a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. The radiation source can be a hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) or an electrodeless-discharge lamp (EDL), both of which provide a narrow emission line of the required wavelength. However, some instruments use continuum sources and high-resolution monochromators to achieve a narrow range of radiation.
The atomizer used in AAS can be either a flame atomizer or an...

X-ray Imaging

5.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Atomic 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.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Overview01:27

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Overview

2.3K
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a technique used to analyze elements by measuring electromagnetic radiation (EMR) absorbed by atoms, which causes them to transition to a higher-energy orbit. The most crucial step in AAS is atomization, where the analyte is converted into gas-phase atoms, typically through a flame or furnace. Some of these atoms become thermally excited in the flame, while most remain in the ground state.
When irradiated by EMR of a particular wavelength, these...

Tandem Mass Spectrometry01:21

Tandem Mass Spectrometry

1.1K
Tandem mass spectrometry is a technique that uses multiple mass analyzers in series to obtain a higher selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio for the analyte. Instruments with multiple analyzers separated by an interaction cell enable secondary fragmentation and selected study of the fragment ions.
Secondary fragmentations occur in the interaction cell and can be induced by various factors. Fragmentation induced by collision with inert gases, such as N2, Ar, He, etc., is called collision-induced...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Laser pump X-ray Transient Absorption (XTA) spectroscopy provides critical insights into photochemical and photophysical processes.
  • X-ray Multiprobe data acquisition (XMP DAQ) enables the collection of XTA spectra across numerous pump-probe time delays in a single experiment, yielding consistent spectral dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate two novel XTA data acquisition techniques: HRR-XMP and AXMP.
  • To leverage the capabilities of XMP DAQ with high-repetition-rate laser excitation for enhanced XTA measurements.
  • To demonstrate the application of these techniques in studying ultrafast dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • High Repetition Rate-X-ray Multiprobe (HRR-XMP): Utilizes laser repetition rates up to 200 times higher than previous XMP DAQ implementations to boost data collection efficiency.
  • Asynchronous X-ray Multiprobe (AXMP): Employs a frequency mismatch between laser and X-ray pulses to acquire XTA data at specific, closely spaced (down to picoseconds) pump-probe time delays.
  • AXMP's novel synchronization concept acquires data in clusters, improving signal statistics for early-time dynamics, crucial for photon-starved techniques like XTA.

Main Results:

  • HRR-XMP significantly increases data collection efficiency, enabling faster acquisition of high-quality XTA data.
  • AXMP allows for flexible, high-resolution sampling of pump-probe time delays, particularly effective for sub-nanosecond dynamics.
  • Demonstrated the successful application of HRR-XMP and AXMP to study the laser-induced spectral dynamics of Fe(CN)6 4- and [FeII(bpy)3]2+.

Conclusions:

  • HRR-XMP and AXMP represent significant advancements in XTA data acquisition, enhancing efficiency and temporal resolution.
  • These techniques provide powerful tools for investigating ultrafast phenomena in photochemistry and photophysics.
  • The demonstrated studies validate the utility of HRR-XMP and AXMP for probing complex molecular dynamics.
