Abstract
A pulsed glow discharge, operating in the microsecond regime, has been found to be advantageous for the examination of solid samples. We hav e studied the spectroscopic response by atomic emission, absorption, f luorescence, and mass spectrometries. Results to date show enhanced ef ficiency for analytical response of the sputtered sample atoms, This t ype of discharge also permits acquisition of useful diagnostic informa tion concerning glow discharge processes.
