Studies of ion emissions from laser-induced plasmas (LIPs) provide insights into the
hydrodynamic expansion of the plume. Investigations of the kinetic energy distributions …

Laser ionization mass spectrometry (LIMS) was one of the first practical methods developed
for in situ analysis of the surfaces of solid samples. This review will encompass several …

Key performance features of a miniature laser ablation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer
designed for in situ investigations of the chemical composition of planetary surfaces are …

Mass spectrometric analysis of elemental and isotopic compositions of several NIST
standards is performed by a miniature laser ablation/ionisation reflectron-type time-of-flight …

We measured the elemental composition on a sample of Allende meteorite with a miniature
laser ablation mass spectrometer. This laser mass spectrometer (LMS) has been designed …

Spectroscopic methods with nanoscale lateral resolution are becoming essential in the
fields of physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and materials science. However, the lateral …

A key interest of planetary space missions is the quantitative determination of the chemical
composition of the planetary surface material. The chemical composition of surface material …

In this work we describe a novel concept for an efficient ion extraction for laser ablation time-
of-flight mass spectrometry. The concept combines a sample, placed in a chamber filled with …

In this contribution highly sensitive and quantitative analytical methodologies based on
femtosecond Laser Ablation Ionization Mass Spectrometry (fs-LIMS) for the analysis of …

Matrix effect is one of the shortcomings of direct solid analysis which makes the quantitative
analysis a great challenge. All of the physical properties of solid and laser parameters could …
