Abstract:
Model of non-stoichiometry laser ablation was proposed and experimentally verified for multicomponent alloys. Disproportion between compositions of a laser plasma plume and a bulk sample was explained by selective evaporation of components during melting-evaporation stage. According proposed model different components need various energies for their evaporation. Proposed model allowed us to determine the correction coefficient for spectra and to determine accurately an elemental composition of bronze samples while it was not possible to obtain truthful results without correction. Different regimes of sampling (single and double pulse) were used for laser ablation of bronzes and in both cases selective evaporation was successfully corrected with proposed model. Aluminum alloys and high-alloy steel samples were used for model validation. Selective evaporation for laser ablation of aluminum alloys was observed to the less extent compared to brass samples. For high-alloy steel samples selective evaporation was absent. Proposed model of selective evaporation and correction procedure for laser plasma spectra allows one to analyze complex samples by calibration free laser induced breakdown spectroscopy without the use of certified materials.
