Starting from fundamentals and moving through a thorough
discussion of equipment, methods, and techniques, the Handbook
of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy provides a unique
reference source that will be of value for many years to come for
this important new analysis method. The authors, with a total
of over 60 years of experience in the LIBS method, use a
combination of tutorial discussions ranging from basic principles
up to more advanced descriptions along with extensive figures and
photographs to clearly explain topics addressed in the text. In
this second edition, chapters on the use of statistical analysis
and advances in detection of weapons of mass destruction have been
added. Tables of data related to analysis with LIBS have been
updated.
The Handbook of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, Second
Edition:
provides a thorough but understandable discussion of the basic
principles of the method based on atomic emission spectroscopy,
including recently available data leading to better
characterization of the LIBS plasma;
presents a discussion of the many advantages of the method
along with limitations, to provide the reader a balanced overview
of capabilities of the method;
describes LIBS instrumentation ranging from basic set-ups to
more advanced configurations;
presents a comprehensive discussion of the different types of
components (laser, spectrometers, detectors) that can be used for
LIBS apparatuses along with suggestions for their use, as well as
an up-to-date treatment of the newest advances and capabilities of
LIBS instruments;
presents the analytical capabilities of the method in terms of
detection limits, accuracy, and precision of measurements for a
variety of different sample types;
discusses methods of sampling different media such as gases,
liquids, and solids;
presents an overview of some real-world applications of the
method, with new emphasis on sampling of biologically and
physically dangerous materials;
provides an up-to-date list of references to LIBS literature
along with the latest detection limits and a unique list of element
detection limits using a uniform analysis method;
provides annotated examples of LIBS spectra which can serve as
references for the general reader and will be especially useful for
those starting out in the field.
