Abstract
The concept of using cathodic sputtering to generate atoms for chemical ana lysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy originated with Alan Walsh in the l ate 1950s. This article reviews the major developments in sputtering techni ques and their application to analytical atomic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
