Analyte excitation and ionization in the argon inductively coupled plasma
A new approach to evaluating departures from local thermal equilibrium (LTE) in the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is described. Experimentally evaluated electron density (n[sub e]) is used as the basis for an LTE framework. Spatially resolved, radial electron density profiles were measured under...
