Towards calibration transfer for quantitative analysis of nuclear materials by LIBS
2018
To ensure the quality of their products, manufacturers of nuclear materials currently rely on wet chemistry methods coupled with ICP-MS and ICP-AES. These methods are slow and sometimes hard to implement, which leads the manufacturers to seek new possibilities of online, fast and direct preliminary quality control. Thus, the issue of quantifying metal impurities in both uranium and plutonium matrices by LIBS has been raised. But the lack of calibrated samples and the harsh security constraints hinder any possibility of complete analytical development on these materials. Therefore, we propose a method relying on calibration transfer from several non-nuclear metal matrices to uranium and plut…

XRF and LIBS integrated analysis to identify the chemical composition and the conservation state of photographic and paper materials

Tecniche spettroscopiche integrate per lo studio di pigmenti storici
2011
Tra le tecniche spettroscopiche per lo studio dei pigmenti storici, la fluorescenza a raggi X (XRF) e la spettroscopia mediante ablazione laser (LIBS) risultano complementari per le informazioni fornite in termini composizionali e di spessori indagati. A differenza dell'analisi XRF, la LIBS permette l'identificazione degli elementi chimici a basso Z e, attraverso impulsi laser consecutivi, consente di ricostruire la stratigrafia caratteristica del campione. Sono state condotte analisi spettroscopiche su frammenti di pitture murali provenienti da diversi siti e su pigmenti in polvere. I risultati hanno permesso di valutare le potenzialità, in campo archeometrico, della tecnica LIBS rispetto …
Time-gated Raman and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in mapping of eudialyte and catapleiite
2020
Raman analysis of rock samples containing rare earth elements (REEs) is challenging due to the strong fluorescence, which may mask the weaker Raman signal. In this research, time‐gated (TG) Raman has been applied to the construction of the mineral distribution map from REE‐bearing rock. With TG Raman, material is excited with a short subnanosecond laser pulse, and the Raman signal is collected within a picosecond‐scale time window prior to the formation of a strong fluorescent signal by means of single‐photon avalanche diode array. This allows signal readout with a significantly reduced fluorescence background. TG Raman maps are used to reveal the location of valuable minerals and are compa…
