Publication Open Access Experimental stark widths and shifts of V II spectral lines(Oxford University Press, 2020) Manrique Rosel, Javier; Díaz Pace, D. M.; Aragón Garbizu, Carlos; Aguilera Andoaga, José Antonio; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; CienciasWe have measured the Stark widths and shifts of V II spectral lines in the wavelength range 2000-4200 Å belonging to 75 multiplets. The spectra are emitted by laser-induced plasmas generated from fused glass discs prepared by borate fusion. The electron density and temperature are in the ranges (0.72-6.5) × 1017 cm-3 and (11 000-14 900) K, respectively. To avoid self-absorption, we have used seven samples with vanadium concentrations selected by the CSigma graph methodology. This has allowed to include strong and weak lines in the study, including resonance and forbidden lines. The experimental widths and shifts are compared with theoretical values available in the literature.Publication Open Access New procedure for CSigma laser induced breakdown spectroscopy addressing the laser-induced plasma inhomogeneity(Elsevier, 2024-06-06) Aguilera Andoaga, José Antonio; Aragón Garbizu, Carlos; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2CSigma laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (Cσ-LIBS), as the other methods for quantitative elemental analysis by LIBS based on plasma characterization, is negatively affected by the inhomogeneity of laser-induced plasmas. In the present work, we propose a new procedure for Cσ-LIBS which addresses the plasma inhomogeneity problem. The key features of the method are: (1) the extension of the concept of apparent temperature to other plasma parameters (apparent plasma) and its use in both the ionization and excitation equilibria and (2) the addition to the theoretical Cσ curve of a linear contribution arising from the plasma regions of low optical depth. In ionization equilibrium, the inhomogeneity requires separated Cσ graphs and different apparent ionization temperatures for neutral atom and ion emissions. In excitation equilibrium, we account for the inhomogeneity by obtaining a different apparent temperature for each multiplet included in the Cσ graph. In this way, the procedure only requires the fitting of a limited number of parameters to describe the inhomogeneous plasma, as the multiplet temperatures Ti are determined by a straightforward iteration procedure of fast convergence. The improved treatment of plasma inhomogeneity allows to include intense resonance lines in Cσ graphs, which were previously avoided. The development of the method has demanded accurate experimental Cσ graphs, obtained with seven certified aluminum alloys. The laser-induced plasma is generated in air at atmospheric pressure, the most common and versatile ambient gas condition for LIBS, which is known to produce a strongly inhomogeneous plasma. To validate the analytical application of the method, the samples are divided into three characterization samples and four analytical samples. The average deviation of the determined concentrations from the certified values has been 8.5% for elements with concentrations greater than 0.05 wt%.
