Abstract

In a high-voltage Ne glow discharge plasma (Ne-GDP), calibration factors as well as the limit of determination were compared between atomic resonance lines and singly-ionized lines of copper and aluminium in optical emission spectrometry. These elements have intense ionic lines which are excited by resonance charge-transfer collisions of Ne ions. The ionic lines gave better detection sensitivity in the Ne-GDP, whereas the atomic resonance lines were commonly employed as analytical lines in the other plasma sources such as Ar-GDP and ICP. The limit of determination was 1.3 × 10-3 mass % for the Cu II 248.58 nm line and 1.0 × 10-3 mass % Al for the Al II 358.66 nm line at a discharge parameter of 1.60 kV/36 mA.
