Hardness determination of bio-ceramics using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (2011)
Journal Article

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the analysis of bio-ceramic samples. The relationship between sample hardness and LIBS plasma properties was investigated, with comparison to conventional Vickers hardness measurements. The p...

The effect of ambient pressure on laser-induced silicon plasma temperature, density and morphology (2009)
Journal Article

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of silicon was performed using a nanosecond pulsed
frequency doubled Nd :YAG (532 nm) laser. The temporal evolution of the laser ablation
plumes was characterized under a range of low pressures. Electron densiti... Read More about The effect of ambient pressure on laser-induced silicon plasma temperature, density and morphology.

Temporally resolved laser induced plasma diagnostics of single crystal silicon - effects of ambient pressure (2008)
Journal Article

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of silicon was performed using a nanosecond pulsed frequency
doubled Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser. The temporal evolution of the laser ablation plumes in air at atmospheric
pressure and at an ambient pressure of ∼10−5... Read More about Temporally resolved laser induced plasma diagnostics of single crystal silicon - effects of ambient pressure.

Application of response surface methodology to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy : influences of hardware configuration (2007)
Journal Article
Cowpe, J., Astin, J., Pilkington, R., Hill, A., Longson, M., & Robinson, T. (2007). Application of response surface methodology to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy : influences of hardware configuration. Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, 62(12), 1335-1342. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sab.2007.10.035

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimise LIBS analysis of single crystal silicon at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum conditions (pressure ~10-6mbar). Multivariate analysis software (StatGraphics 5.1) was used to design and an...
