Zb. Gong et al., HIGH-CURRENT AND MICROSECOND DURATION PUL SED HOLLOW-CATHODE LAMP EXCITED INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA ATOMIZER ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 16(6), 1995, pp. 865-867
ICP-AFS excited by hollow cathode lamp(HCL) with high current (15 A) a
nd microsecond pulse (1.5 mu s) power supply has been studied. The det
ection limit (2 sigma) for Ca obtained with an 850 W ICP was 0.07 ng/m
L, which was 40 times better than that obtained with conventionally pu
lsed (cp.) HCL excited at the same ICP power, and 30 times better than
the best detection limit for cp. HCL, which was obtained with an 800
W ICP.
