High-frequency or induction-coupled plasma discharges as spectrometric excitation sources have been investigated by several workers in recent years, in attempts to avoid the inherent disadvantages of the d.c. arc, the low-energy flame, and the d.c. arc-plasma, as used in flame photometric and emission spectrographic analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
