Fast determination of the surface density of titanium in ultrathin layers using LIBS spectrometry

Abstract

This work deals with the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for determining the surface density of titanium in ultrathin layers, particularly in ultrathin layers on a steel sheet. The results obtained by LIBS spectroscopy were compared with those obtained by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (WDXRF), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma time of flight mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-TOF-MS). A simple, cheap and efficient method for the determination of the surface density of titanium in thin layers has been developed.
