In this study, we analyze a standard soil sample doped with two heavy metal elements, Cu and Cd, with a specific focus on the line of Cu I324.75 nm for filtering the experimental data of multiple sample sets. Pre-and post-data filtering,the relative standard deviation for Cu decreased from 30% to 10%, The limits of detection(LOD)values for Cu and Cd decreased by 5% and 4%, respectively. Through CF-LIBS, a quantitative analysis was conducted to determine the relative content of elements in soils. Using Cu as a reference, the concentration of Cd was accurately calculated. The results show that post-data filtering, the average relative error of the Cd decreases from 11% to 5%, indicating the effectiveness of data filtering in improving the accuracy of quantitative analysis. Moreover, the content of Si, Fe and other elements can be accurately calculated using this method. To further correct the calculation, the results for Cd was used to provide a more precise calculation. This approach is of great importance for the large-area in-situ heavy metals and trace elements detection in soil, as well as for rapid and accurate quantitative analysis.展开更多

In this study, the dissolution of metallic elements during the material decoction process was investigated using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS). The Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe in the drug residues, liquid, and vapor were selected for the study of the transfer of elements after different decocting times. It was found that the intensities of the spectral lines for these elements in the drug liquid increased with increasing decocting times.The contrast trend was observed in the residues and only calcium was detected in the vapor.Furthermore, the relative mass concentrations of Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe in the liquid were quantitatively determined by a combination of the standard addition method and calibrationfree-LIBS method by adding the standard concentration solution of Cu and Cd elements into the drug liquids, it can be found that the maximum error between Cd concentration calculated by internal CF-LIBS and the standard is within 10%. This provides a new method of achieving the on-line monitoring and analysis of metallic elements in the production of traditional Chinese medicines.展开更多

To assess this effect,we performed a series of temporally resolved spectra of highly charged Si ions in the extreme ultraviolet region.Ab initio calculations of the DR rate coefficients were done for Si^(6+)–Si^(4+) ions. We also analyzed the evolution of the collisional ionization, radiative recombination, three-body recombination, photo-ionization, and DR rate coefficients as a function of electron temperature. The electron temperature and electron density for different delay times were obtained by comparing the normalized experimental and simulated spectra. The ion fraction and average charge state from the four different CR models were also obtained. The results indicate that the DR process has a greater influence in the stage of plasma evolution that cannot be neglected in plasma diagnoses.展开更多

文摘Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy-assisted glow discharge(LIBS-GD)for analysis of elements in liquid was proposed,and it was applied to detect heavy metals in highly sensitive mixed solutions of Cu and Cr.During the experiments of GD and LIBS-GD,the experimental parameters have been optimized and the optimal voltage is 450 V,laser energy is 60 mJ,and the delay time is 4000 ns.Furthermore,the calibration curves of Cu and Cr under GD and LIBS-GD experiments have been established,and the limits of detection(LODs)of Cu and Cr were obtained with the method of GD and LIBS-GD,respectively.The LOD of Cu decreased from3.37(GD)to 0.16 mg l(LIBS-GD),and Cr decreased from 3.15 to 0.34 mg l.The results prove that the capability of elemental detection under LIBS-GD has improved compared with the GD method.Therefore,LIBS-GD is expected to be developed into a highly sensitive method for sewage detection.

文摘Ve systematically study the decay properties of the K-shell excited F-like ions with 10≤Z≤36 based on the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method.The Breit interaction,the QED corrections and the nuclear finite mass effects are also considered as perturbation.Auger transition rates,radiative,Auger and natural widths,as well as fluorescence and Auger yields for K-shell excited F-like ions are presented.It is shown by means of concrete figures that the decay properties change significantly with the increase of the atomic number Z;the Auger rate is overtaken at Z =30 by the radiative decay rate.Several fitting formulae for the radiative and Auger widths and the fluorescence yields have been evaluated which is expected to be useful in plasma analysis and plasma modeling.

文摘We proposed a theoretical spatio-temporal imaging method,which was based on the thermal model of laser ablation and the two-dimensional axisymmetric multi-species hydrodynamics model.By using the intensity formula,the integral intensity of spectral lines could be calculated and the corresponding images of intensity distribution could be drawn.Through further image processing such as normalization,determination of minimum intensity,combination and color filtering,a relatively clear species distribution image in the plasma could be obtained.Using the above method,we simulated the plasma ablated from Al-Mg alloy by different laser energies under 1 atm argon,and obtained the theoretical spatio-temporal distributions of Mg I,Mg II,Al I,Al II and Ar I species,which are almost consistent with the experimental results by differential imaging.Compared with the experimental decay time constants,the consistency is higher at low laser energy,indicating that our theoretical model is more suitable for the plasma dominated by laser-supported combustion wave.
文摘The temporal evolution of extreme ultraviolet(EUV)emission spectra of laser-produced antimony(Sb)plasmas has been measured in the 7-16 nm wavelength region using spatio?temporally resolved lase-produced plasma spectroscopy technique.The spectral profiles involve an intense quasi-continuous band with superimposed intense characteristic radiation and are different with the increase of delay time.The spectral structures were also analyzed according to Hartree-Fock calculations with configuration interaction effects and contributed from 4d^4/;4d-4p,and 4d-5f unresolved transition arrays of Sb7*-Sb131.A steady-state collisionalradiative model was used to estimate the electron temperature and density range of Sb plasmas.This work would enrich the spectral data of highly-charged ions and provided a possible selection for developing EUV light sources.

文摘A state diagnosis of laser-produced plasma in air generated by a 1064 nm pulse laser was investigated by the Thomson scattering(TS)method.The evolutions of the electron temperature and electron density were obtained as a function of the time delay which ranged from 300-3200 ns.The heating effect produced by the 532 nm probe beam with different energies on the air plasma at different interaction times was further studied using a time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy technique.The influence of the probe beam on the electron density was found to be negligible,whereas its influence on electron temperature is evident.In addition,the heating effect of the probe beam on the plasma strongly depends on the energy of the probe beam,and gradually weakens with increasing time delay.Our results are helpful for further understanding the TS method and its application in plasma diagnostics.

文摘By containing ponderomotive self-channeling,the propagation behavior of an intense laser beam and the physical conditions are obtained theoretically in a radial power-law plasma channel.It is found that ponderomotive self-channeling results in the emergence of a solitary wave and catastrophic focusing,which apparently decreases the region for stable propagation in a parameter space of laser power and the ratio of the initial laser spot radius to the channel radius(RLC).Direct numerical simulation confirms the theory of constant propagation,periodic defocusing and focusing oscillations in the parameter space,and reveals a radial instability which prevents the formation of bright and dark solitary waves.The corresponding unstable critical curve is added in the parameter space numerically and the induced unstable region above the unstable critical curve covers that of catastrophic focusing,which shrinks the stable region for laser beams.For the expected constant propagation,the results reveal the need for a low RLC.Further study illustrates that the channel power-law exponent has an obvious effect on the final stable region and laser propagation,for example increasing this exponent can enlarge the stable region significantly,which is beneficial for guiding of the laser and increases the lowest RLC for constant propagation.Our results also show that the initial laser amplitude has an apparent influence on the propagation behavior.

文摘To quickly identify the mineral pigments in the Dunhuang murals,a spectral matching algorithm(SMA)based on four methods was combined with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS)for the first time.The optimal range of LIBS spectrum for mineral pigments was determined using the similarity value between two different types of samples of the same pigment.A mineral pigment LIBS database was established by comparing the spectral similarities of tablets and simulated samples,and this database was successfully used to identify unknown pigments on tablet,simulated,and real mural debris samples.The results show that the SMA method coupled with the LIBS technique has great potential for identifying mineral pigments.

文摘Detailed theoretical calculations are performed for the 4f and 5p inner-shell excitations of W-W^(3+) ions using the multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock method in order to better understand the origin of the XUV photoabsorption spectra of W atoms from the dual laser-produced plasma experiment(Costello et al.J.Phys.B 24(1991)5063 and the spectra of photon-induced single ionization of W^(q+) ions(q=1,2,3)(Müller et al.Phys.Scr.T1441(2011)014052)from photon-ions merged beam experiments,respectively.Two broad and strong resonances in the experimental spectra have also been theoretically identified mainly from 5p–5d resonance.The 4f–5d,6d and 5p–6d transitions also make a small contribution to each spectrum,which are superimposed on the 5p–5d transition arrays.Based on the assumption of a normalized Boltzmann distribution among the excited states,we succeed in reproducing spectra which are in good agreement with experiments.

文摘We investigate the existence and dynamical stability of multipole gap solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in a deformed honeycomb optical lattice.Honeycomb lattices possess a unique band structure,the first and second bands intersect at a set of so-called Dirac points.Deformation can result in the merging and disappearance of the Dirac points,and support the gap solitons.We find that the two-dimensional honeycomb optical lattices admit multipole gap solitons.These multipoles can have their bright solitary structures being in-phase or out-of-phase.We also investigate the linear stabilities and nonlinear stabilities of these gap solitons.These results have applications of the localized structures in nonlinear optics,and may helpful for exploiting topological properties of a deformed lattice.

文摘Laser-induced plasma is often produced in the presence of background gas,which causes some new physical processes.In this work,a two-dimensional axisymmetric radiation fluid dynamics model is used to numerically simulate the expansion process of plasma under different pressures and gases,in which the multiple interaction processes of diffusion,viscosity and heat conduction between the laser ablated target vapor and the background gas are further considered,and the spatio-temporal evolutions of plasma parameters(species number density,expansion velocity,size and electron temperature)as well as the emission spectra are obtained.The consistency between the actual and simulated spectra of aluminum plasma in 1 atm argon verifies the correctness of the model and the numerical simulation,thus providing a refinement analysis method for the basic research of plasma expansion in gases and the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

文摘Armed with four different steady-state collisional-radiative(CR) models,we investigated the effect of dielectronic recombination(DR) on the charge-state distribution in laser-produced silicon plasma. To assess this effect,we performed a series of temporally resolved spectra of highly charged Si ions in the extreme ultraviolet region.Ab initio calculations of the DR rate coefficients were done for Si^(6+)–Si^(4+) ions. We also analyzed the evolution of the collisional ionization, radiative recombination, three-body recombination, photo-ionization, and DR rate coefficients as a function of electron temperature. The electron temperature and electron density for different delay times were obtained by comparing the normalized experimental and simulated spectra. The ion fraction and average charge state from the four different CR models were also obtained. The results indicate that the DR process has a greater influence in the stage of plasma evolution that cannot be neglected in plasma diagnoses.
