Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

1.1K
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....

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Fabry-Pérot white light interferometry is crucial for surface force apparatus (SFA).
  • Accurate characterization of optical layers, especially mica spacers, is vital for SFA's precision in measuring confined fluids.
  • Mica spacer layers significantly limit the accuracy of nano-confined film measurements due to their optical path length.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated method for in situ determination of mica thickness and dispersive refractive index.
  • To enhance the absolute accuracy of SFA measurements without conventional mica-mica contact calibration.
  • To improve the accuracy of sub-nanometer confined fluid property determination.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the multi-parameter approach series (MPAS) algorithm.
  • In situ determination of mica thickness and dispersive refractive index.
  • Utilizing spectral correlation for accuracy enhancement.

Main Results:

  • The MPAS algorithm significantly enhances the accuracy of mica parameter determination.
  • The method achieves enhanced instrumental accuracy by increasing spectral correlation.
  • Eliminates the need for conventional mica-mica contact calibration.

Conclusions:

  • The MPAS method provides a significant accuracy enhancement for SFA instruments.
  • Accurate assessment of mica's elasto- and opto-mechanical properties is necessary for future accuracy improvements.
  • The study highlights the critical role of mica optical properties in SFA measurements.
