The 193nm Teledyne CETAC Analyte Excite Excimer Laser Ablation System is capable of introducing almost any type of solid sample into the iCAP™ TQ ICP-MS. It is especially applicable to in-situ ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.

The laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) facility was established in 2018 and mainly performs U-Pb zircon geochronology and trace element analysis of minerals and ...

The laser blasts away the mineral’s surface, vaporizing it into plasma. “Our laser ablation ionization mass spectrometer, can effectively detect biosignatures in sulfate minerals. This ...

Plasma, Lasers, and Beams Group: We conduct experimental research at the intersection of plasma, laser, and beam physics ... borne probes to detect the dust in the mesosphere from meteor ablation and ...

"This is likely due to the rapid formation of an approximately 500-nanometer thick plasma layer at the laser-illuminated surface, which is what we are referring to as the 'ablation depth,'" said ...

"Our laser ablation ionization mass spectrometer ... super-heating that material so that it evaporates into a plasma — a cloud of ionized atoms and molecules. A microscope then observes that ...
