An experimental study of excited state level populations in the argon inductively coupled plasma

In an effort to elucidate excitation and ionization of analyte in the inductively coupled plasma, excited state level populations have been determined for three analytes, Fe, Ba, and Cr, from experimentally measured line emission intensities at various rf input powers and spatial positions. Measurem...
