“…Differences between certified and measured concentrations of the order of 10-20% were reported, which were four times smaller than values found for UV-ns-LA-ICP-MS using equivalent experimental conditions. Recently, Bian et al [30,31] and Monza et al [32] communicated three studies on "extreme" cases of non-matrix-matched calibration using metal and silicate glass standards. In addition, Horn et al [33] reported on the absence of isotopic fractionation during the isotope ratio analysis of a variety of Fe-containing mineral phases.…”

“…With femtosecond-pulsed ablation, the irradiated volume can explode (Coulomb explosion) before the photon energy is dissipated as heat in the lattice; melting is reduced (reducing or eliminating melt ejection) and the ablation process could produce a more uniform aerosol compared to nanosecond laser ablation [25]. Improved chemical analysis precision and accuracy by reducing systematic errors related to the particle size distribution and resultant spikes in the transient signal as well as a relaxation of matrix dependence has been shown for the analysis of glass and metal alloy samples when using femtosecond laser pulses [26][27][28][29][30].…”

Pulsed laser ablation (266nm) was used to generate metal particles of Zn and Al alloys using femtosecond (150 fs) and nanosecond (4 ns) laser pulses with identical fluences of 50 J cm -2 . Characterization of particles and correlation with InductivelyCoupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) performance was investigated. Particles produced by nanosecond laser ablation were mainly primary particles with irregular shape and hard agglomerates (without internal voids). Particles produced by femtosecond laser ablation consisted of spherical primary particles and soft agglomerates formed from numerous small particles. Examination of the craters by white light interferometric microscopy showed that there is a rim of material surrounding the craters formed after nanosecond laser ablation. The determination of the crater volume by white light interferometric microscopy, considering the rim of material surrounding ablation craters, revealed that the volume ratio (fs/ns) of the craters on the selected samples was approximately 9 (Zn), 7 (NIST627 alloy) and 5 (NIST1711 alloy) times more ablated mass with femtosecond pulsed ablation compared to nanosecond pulsed ablation. In addition, an increase of Al concentration from 0 to 5% in Zn base alloys caused a large increase in the diameter of the particles, up to 65% while using nanosecond laser pulses.When the ablated particles were carried in argon into an ICP-MS, the Zn and Al signals intensities were greater by factors of ~ 50 and ~ 12 for fs vs. ns ablation. Femtosecond 2 pulsed ablation also reduced temporal fluctuations in the 66 Zn transient signal by a factor of ten compared to nanosecond laser pulses.

“…It shows better analytical performance form the view of elemental fractionation effects, which show the capability concerning the non-matrix matching calibration method for the quantitative analysis of elements. 32 However, the effect could actually be observed on conductive samples such as metals. The fs-LA does not always show better elemental fractionation on non-conducting materials such as glass, since similar elemental fractionation effects were obtained among 193 nm nanosecond-LA (ns-LA), 265 nm fs-LA and 795 nm fs-LA in our previous study.…”

Comparison of 265 nm Femtosecond and 213 nm Nanosecond Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for Pb Isotope Ratio Measurements

The analytical performance of 265 nm femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA) and 213 nm nanosecond laser ablation (ns-LA) systems coupled with multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) for Pb isotope ratio measurements of solder were compared. Although the time-resolved signals of Pb measured by fs-LA-MC-ICPMS showed smoother signals compared to those obtained by ns-LA-MC-ICPMS, similar precisions on Pb isotope ratio measurements were obtained between them, even though their operating conditions were slightly different. The mass bias correction of the Pb isotope ratio measurement was carried out by a comparison method using a Pb standard solution prepared from NIST SRM 981 Pb metal isotopic standard, which was introduced into the ICP by a desolvation nebulizer (DSN) via a dual-sample introduction system, and it was successfully demonstrated for Pb isotope ratio measurements for either NIST 981 metal isotopic standard or solder by fs-LA-MC-ICPMS since the analytical results agreed well with the certified value as well as the determined value within their standard deviations obtained and the expanded uncertainty of the certified or determined value. The Pb isotope ratios of solder obtained by ns-LA-MC-ICPMS also showed agreement with respect to the determined value within their standard deviations and expanded uncertainty. From these results, it was evaluated that the mass bias correction applied in the present study was useful and both LA-MC-ICPMS could show similar analytical performance for the Pb isotope ratio microanalysis of metallic samples such as solder.Keywords 265 nm femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA), 213 nm nanosecond laser ablation (ns-LA), multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), LA-MC-ICPMS, Pb isotope ratio measurements, solder
