Plasma Emission Spectroscopy

INTRODUCTION

The plasma is used as an atomisation source for emission spectroscopic method is known as plasma emission spectroscopy. Plasma is defined as a cloud of highly ionised gas which is composed of electrons. In plasma emission spectroscopy, the gas usually used is argon which is ionised by the influence of a strong electrical field either by a direct current or by radio frequency.

Based on the current applied, plasma emission spectroscopy is classified as the following:

  • Direct current plasma emission spectroscopy.
  • Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy.

Plasma was first identified by Sir William Crookes in 1879 in a Crookes tube.
