Sy. Treshchev et al., Determination of osmium by laser-induced fluorescence in a graphite furnace in combination with an intensified charge coupled device, J ANALYT CH, 54(3), 1999, pp. 279-282
Laser-induced fluorescence in a graphite furnace with an intensified diode
array is used for determining ultratrace osmium. Fluorescence spectra of os
mium were investigated in a wide spectral range for five excitation transit
ions from the ground state. The optimum wavelengths of excitation and fluor
escence were selected; the limit of detection of osmium in aqueous solution
s is 50 pg.
