Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has great potential in rapid analysis of coal quality due to the unique advantages of no complex sample pretreatment, simultaneous analysis of multiple elements and fast detection. However, due to the deviation in the precision of instrumentation, there are signal intensity difference and wavelength shift in spectra collected from different instruments. As a result, the effective quantitative analysis model based on the master instrument cannot be applied to the slave instrument, which hinders the application of LIBS. Therefore, this paper proposed a method combining wavelength shift self-calibration with feature transfer learning to improve the applicability of quantitative analysis model of coal quality. The wavelength shift between master and slave instruments was corrected by the wavelength shift self-calibration method based on the standard deviation value of characteristic peak intensity. Then, the transfer learning method based on Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and Piecewise Direct Standardization (PDS) was used to fit the spectral features between slave instrument and master instrument. Finally, the quantitative analysis model of coal quality was established by the random forest (RF). Furthermore, the Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS) feature selection method was used to select the input of model. As a result, the proposed CARS-KPCA-PDS method was able to improve the adaptability of quantitative models across different LIBS Systems. Compared with the RF model without transfer learning, the mean absolute error (MAEP) of CARS-KPCA-PDS model in predicting calorific value, carbon content and ash content were reduced by 58.32 %, 71.67 % and 77.48 %. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could improve the applicability of quantitative analysis model to different instruments and reduce the modeling cost.
激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)以其无需复杂样品前处理、可同时分析多元素、检测速度快等独特优势,在煤质快速分析中具有巨大的应用潜力。然而,由于仪器精度的偏差,不同仪器采集的光谱存在信号强度差异和波长偏移。因此,基于主仪器的有效定量分析模型无法应用于从仪器,阻碍了LIBS的应用。为此,本文提出了一种波长移自标定与特征迁移学习相结合的方法,以提高煤质定量分析模型的适用性。采用基于特征峰强度标准差值的波长移自校准方法对主从仪器之间的波长移进行校正。然后,采用基于核主成分分析(KPCA)和分段直接标准化(PDS)的迁移学习方法对从机和主机之间的频谱特征进行拟合;最后,利用随机森林模型建立了煤质定量分析模型。在此基础上,采用竞争自适应重加权采样(CARS)特征选择方法来选择模型的输入。结果表明,所提出的CARS-KPCA-PDS方法能够提高定量模型在不同LIBS系统之间的适应性。与不进行迁移学习的RF模型相比,CARS-KPCA-PDS模型预测发热量、碳含量和灰分的平均绝对误差(MAEP)分别降低了58.32%、71.67%和77.48%。结果表明,该方法提高了定量分析模型对不同仪器的适用性,降低了建模成本。

The femto- and picosecond laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) signals statistics have been studied in detail. The picosecond laser pulse energies distribution function followed to the Gaussian profile while that for the femtosecond pulse energy slightly deviated from the normality. The same laser system generated both femto- (200 fs) and picosecond (120 ps) pulses which ablated aluminum alloy in the air. Spatially, spectrally, and temporally resolved atomic, molecular and background plasma emission signals have been quantified to reveal the LIBS signals statistics. Unlike for nanosecond ablation, femtosecond and picosecond LIBS signals were distributed normally. Plasma electron temperature was determined for each single shot plasma to estimate temperature fluctuations on observed LIBS emission signals distribution functions. It was demonstrated that plasma temperature fluctuations had little influence on femtosecond LIBS signals statistics but had a moderate impact on picosecond plasma case. The greater influence of temperature fluctuations on LIBS signals distribution function for picosecond ablation were attributed to laser-plasma interaction.
对飞秒和皮秒激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)信号统计进行了详细的研究。皮秒激光脉冲能量分布函数服从高斯分布,飞秒脉冲能量分布函数略偏离正态分布。同样的激光系统产生飞秒(200秒)和皮秒(120秒)脉冲,在空气中烧蚀铝合金。对空间、光谱和时间分辨的原子、分子和背景等离子体发射信号进行了量化,揭示了LIBS信号的统计。与纳秒消融不同,飞秒和皮秒LIBS信号呈正态分布。测定了每个单次等离子体的等离子体电子温度,以估计温度波动对观测到的LIBS发射信号分布函数的影响。结果表明,等离子体温度波动对飞秒LIBS信号统计量影响不大,但对皮秒LIBS信号统计量影响不大。温度波动对皮秒烧蚀LIBS信号分布函数的影响较大,主要归因于激光等离子体相互作用。

The present study aims to understand the temporal changes in emission line intensity observed in nanoparticle enhanced LIBS for experiments conducted under different ambient conditions. Although nanoparticles have been extensively used for signal enhancement in LIBS, only a handful of literature exists which discusses their behavior in low-pressure ambient. We have carried out a systematic study of signal enhancement in LIBS in presence of nanoparticles for both neutral and ionic lines in vacuum and air ambient. We have observed 2–3 times signal enhancement in the emission line intensities of neutral species in nanoparticle enhanced LIBS in both ambient. While ionic species show a similar enhancement in air for LIBS with nanoparticles, the trend is opposite in case of vacuum. The observed signal enhancements in LIBS in presence of nanoparticles for both neutral and ionic species were explained through the study of plasma parameters, temperature and electron number density. Temporal evolution of signal enhancements was compared for air and vacuum ambient for both neutral and ionic lines emphasizing the role of acquisition delay and proper selection of emission lines in case of nanoparticle enhanced LIBS.
本研究旨在了解在不同环境条件下纳米粒子增强LIBS实验中观察到的发射线强度的时间变化。虽然纳米颗粒被广泛用于LIBS的信号增强,但只有少数文献讨论了它们在低压环境下的行为。我们在真空和空气环境中对中性线和离子线在纳米粒子存在下的LIBS信号增强进行了系统的研究。我们观察到,在两种环境下,纳米颗粒中中性物质的发射线强度增强了2-3倍的信号。虽然离子种类在空气中对纳米颗粒LIBS表现出类似的增强,但在真空情况下则相反。通过对等离子体参数、温度和电子数密度的研究,解释了纳米颗粒在LIBS中对中性和离子的信号增强。比较了空气和真空环境下中性线和离子线信号增强的时间演变,强调了纳米粒子增强LIBS中采集延迟和正确选择发射线的作用。

Total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) is a key analytical technique for detecting surface metal contamination on silicon wafers. While mature commercial instruments provide excellent detection performance, they are typically large, heavy, and equipped with high-power X-ray tubes, the use of high-power X-ray tubes (The X-ray tube typically operates at a power of approximately 1500 W.) leads to increased power consumption. In this study, a compact, low-power TXRF-based spectrometer was developed specifically for wafer metal contamination detection. A new quantitative analysis method was employed to mitigate the effects associated with the use of a low-power X-ray tube. The instrument's performance was evaluated using silicon wafers deliberately contaminated with Fe, Ni, and Cu. Elemental mapping and quantitative analysis were conducted using custom Python-based software. The results demonstrate that the spectrometer offers reliable sensitivity and accuracy for detecting surface contaminants on silicon wafers.

The laser-induced ionization of KrHe mixture was used to prepare metastable 5s[3/2]2 level Kr atoms. By analyzing the temporal evolution of the Kr 760.15 nm (5p[3/2]2 → 5s[3/2]2) spectral line intensity, three stages of metastable production were confirmed: the “photon excitation + radiation” process, the “electron-impact excitation + radiation” process, and the “ion-electron recombination” process. In the “electron-impact excitation + radiation” stage, the total collisional decay rate constant for Kr atoms at the 5p[3/2]2 level associated with the buffer gas He atoms was (0.0179 ± 0.0012) × 10−11 cm3 s−1, which confirmed that under laser-induced ionization, the collision contributions from other levels to the 5p[3/2]2 level Kr atoms were significant. This revealed that He atoms inhibit the reionization of Kr atoms due to their interference and slowing effect on the energy pooling process of Kr atomic levels. In the “ion-electron recombination” stage, the total collisional decay rate constant for Kr atoms at the 5p[3/2]2 level associated with He atoms was (0.0008 ± 0.0001) × 10−11 cm3 s−1, which was essentially the same as the total collisional decay rate constant for pure Kr gas in this stage. This again indicated that in the continuous recombination process of ions and electrons, the collisional replenishment rate from the Rydberg states to the 5p[3/2]2 level dominates, masking the difference in collisional decay rates between the KrHe mixture and pure Kr gas.
利用激光诱导电离KrHe混合物制备了亚稳的5s[3/2]2能级的Kr原子。通过分析氪760.15 nm (5p[3/2]2→5s[3/2]2)光谱线强度的时间演化,确定了亚稳产生的三个阶段:“光子激发+辐射”过程、“电子-冲击激发+辐射”过程和“离子-电子复合”过程。在“电子碰撞激发+辐射”阶段,与缓冲气体He原子相关的5p[3/2]2能级Kr原子的总碰撞衰减速率常数为(0.0179±0.0012)× 10−11 cm3 s−1,证实了在激光诱导电离下,其他能级对5p[3/2]2能级Kr原子的碰撞贡献是显著的。这表明He原子抑制了Kr原子的再电离,这是由于He原子对Kr原子能级能量池过程的干扰和减缓作用。在“离子-电子复合”阶段,与He原子相关的5p[3/2]2能级的Kr原子的总碰撞衰变速率常数为(0.0008±0.0001)× 10−11 cm3 s−1,与纯Kr气体在该阶段的总碰撞衰变速率常数基本相同。这再次表明,在离子与电子的连续复合过程中,从里德伯态到5p[3/2]2能级的碰撞补充率占主导地位,掩盖了KrHe混合物与纯Kr气体之间碰撞衰减率的差异。

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is an increasingly popular method for elemental bioimaging, primarily due to its fast and multi-elemental analysis. However, achieving quantitative accuracy is highly challenging, mainly due to the strong matrix effect present in biological matrices and the lack of spatially adaptive calibration strategies. When using the conventional pixel-to-pixel calibration approach, it typically assumes a uniform sample matrix, which leads to high quantification errors when applied to biological and plant tissues. Therefore, there is a need for novel calibration methods based on a delocalized approach that take matrix variability into consideration when dealing with biological samples. This study introduces a novel delocalized approach for quantitative bioimaging of elements, particularly cadmium (Cd) and calcium (Ca), in plant tissue. A controlled sample set of Cannabis sativa plants contaminated with three different Cd concentrations was analysed at matching spatial resolution using micro-X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) and LIBS. A conventional pixel-to-pixel calibration was initially employed as a baseline strategy but yielded high mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) exceeding 40 % for Cd. Therefore, a delocalised approach was developed to overcome these limitations, leveraging clustering algorithms to construct a matrix-based calibration model. This method significantly improved quantification accuracy, reducing MAPE for Cd to as low as 8.7 %, while Ca quantification achieved a score of 1.1 % MAPE. The model also exhibited minimal bias, with errors in the parts-per-million range. These results demonstrate that advanced feature selection and clustering-based calibration enable accurate quantification in highly heterogeneous plant matrices. The proposed delocalized approach demonstrates a significant advance in LIBS imaging methodology by addressing a key limitation in pixel-to-pixel calibration and may be applicable to a broader range of elements in other biological and heterogeneous systems.
激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)是一种越来越受欢迎的元素生物成像方法,主要是由于其快速和多元素分析。然而,实现定量准确性是极具挑战性的,主要是由于生物基质中存在很强的基质效应和缺乏空间自适应校准策略。当使用传统的像素对像素校准方法时,它通常假设一个均匀的样本矩阵,这导致在应用于生物和植物组织时存在很高的定量误差。因此,需要一种基于离域方法的新型校准方法,在处理生物样品时考虑到矩阵的可变性。本研究介绍了一种新的离域方法,用于植物组织中元素的定量生物成像,特别是镉(Cd)和钙(Ca)。利用微x射线荧光(micro-XRF)和LIBS在匹配的空间分辨率下分析了受三种不同镉浓度污染的大麻植物对照样品。传统的像素对像素校准最初被用作基线策略,但Cd的平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)超过40%。因此,开发了一种非局部化方法来克服这些限制,利用聚类算法构建基于矩阵的校准模型。该方法显著提高了定量精度,将Cd的MAPE降至8.7%,而Ca的MAPE评分为1.1%。该模型也显示出最小的偏差,误差在百万分之一的范围内。这些结果表明,先进的特征选择和基于聚类的校准能够在高度异质的植物基质中进行准确的定量。提出的离域方法通过解决像素到像素校准的关键限制,证明了LIBS成像方法的重大进步,可能适用于其他生物和异质系统中更广泛的元素。

We developed a sample preparation method for total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis based on a freeze concentration technique to enhance sensitivity. To stabilize the frozen concentration, glycerol, which contains three hydroxyl groups, was added to the sample solution. We also developed a double-internal-reference method for simultaneously determining the concentration rate and the target element concentration before freezing. A Cr-containing sample solution was prepared as the target element, mixed with glycerol and Mn (first internal reference element), and then frozen. The exuded solution was collected and mixed with In (second internal reference element). The concentration rate was determined by comparing the X-ray fluorescence signals of the internal references, whereas the target element concentration was derived from the relationship between the fluorescent X-rays of the target and internal reference elements. Without freeze concentration, the limit of detection (LOD) for Cr using a portable TXRF instrument was 257 ng/mL. With freeze concentration and the addition of glycerol (0.05 mL), the average concentration rate was increased by 29.4-time, improving the LOD to 42.7 ng/mL, and a recovery rate of 100 % was achieved. The freeze concentration combined with a double-internal-reference was proven to be highly effective for sensitive TXRF analysis.
为了提高灵敏度,我们开发了一种基于冷冻浓缩技术的全反射x射线荧光(TXRF)分析样品制备方法。为了稳定冷冻浓度,将含有三个羟基的甘油加入到样品溶液中。我们还建立了一种双内参法,用于同时测定冷冻前的浓度速率和目标元素浓度。制备含cr的样品溶液作为目标元素,与甘油和Mn(第一内参元素)混合,然后冷冻。收集渗出液并与In(第二内参元素)混合。浓度速率是通过比较内参元素的x射线荧光信号来确定的,而目标元素的浓度则是由目标元素与内参元素的荧光x射线之间的关系来确定的。无冷冻浓度时,便携式TXRF仪器的检出限(LOD)为257 ng/mL。在冷冻浓度和添加甘油(0.05 mL)的条件下,平均浓度速率提高29.4倍,LOD达到42.7 ng/mL,回收率为100%。冷冻浓度与双内参相结合被证明对TXRF的敏感分析是非常有效的。

Determination of nitrogen in solid-state materials using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) under the atmospheric pressure faces the challenge of interference from nitrogen present in the ambient gas. Previous studies have proposed various strategies to address this issue, such as employing a vacuum chamber or purging the laser interaction zone with an inert gas, with the cost of increasing the complexity of a LIBS instrument. Fiber lasers with their recent industrial development present a promising opportunity for LIBS applications due to their inherent advantages, such as compactness, stability, and cost-effectiveness. Determination of a nonmetal element such as nitrogen in solid-state materials using a fiber laser remains to be demonstrated. Performing a such demonstration, with a particular focus on investigating an interference-free regime in LIBS operation, is precisely the purpose of this work. A series of nitrogen-bearing samples was prepared using cement as the matrix material and silicon nitride as the nitrogen-containing dopant. The experiments were conducted using a commercially available Q-switched Nd:YAG fiber laser operating at 1064 nm, with a pulse duration of 100 ns, a repetition rate of 5 kHz, and a pulse energy of 640 μJ. The N I 744.2 nm emission line was clearly observed, and our investigation confirmed that it originated from the sample rather than the ambient gas. This enabled a univariate regression of the spectral intensity against the nitrogen concentration. To further improve the analytical performance, feature selection was combined with multivariate regression using the partial least squares (PLS) algorithm. The resulting model achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.46 wt%, a relative error of prediction (REP) of 2.22 %, and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.12 wt%. Such results represent a significant improvement with respect to the state-of-art performance for nitrogen determination in solid-state materials with LIBS, with for example a reported LOD of 0.8 wt% for a determination of nitrogen in sands (Harris et al., 2004 [1]), demonstrating thus the capability of fiber laser LIBS for accurate nitrogen determination in solid-state materials under the atmospheric conditions, without the need of additional equipment such as vacuum or gas purging systems.
常压下激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)测定固态材料中的氮面临着环境气体中氮干扰的挑战。先前的研究提出了各种策略来解决这个问题,例如采用真空室或用惰性气体净化激光相互作用区,但成本增加了LIBS仪器的复杂性。随着近年来的工业发展,光纤激光器由于其固有的优点,如紧凑、稳定和成本效益,为LIBS应用提供了一个有希望的机会。用光纤激光测定固态材料中的非金属元素,如氮,还有待证明。执行这样的演示,特别侧重于研究LIBS操作中的无干扰状态,正是这项工作的目的。以水泥为基体材料,氮化硅为含氮掺杂剂,制备了一系列含氮样品。实验采用市售调q Nd:YAG光纤激光器,工作波长为1064 nm,脉冲持续时间为100 ns,重复频率为5 kHz,脉冲能量为640 μJ。n744.2 nm的发射谱线清晰可见,我们的调查证实了它是由样品而不是环境气体引起的。这使得光谱强度对氮浓度的单变量回归成为可能。为了进一步提高分析性能,使用偏最小二乘(PLS)算法将特征选择与多元回归相结合。该模型的检出限(LOD)为0.46 wt%,预测相对误差(REP)为2.22%,预测均方根误差(RMSEP)为0.12 wt%。这些结果表明,相对于使用LIBS测定固态材料中氮的最先进性能而言,这一结果有了显著的改进,例如,据报道,LIBS测定沙子中的氮的LOD为0.8 wt% (Harris等人,2004[1]),这表明光纤激光LIBS能够在大气条件下精确测定固态材料中的氮,而不需要额外的设备,如真空或气体净化系统。

The accurate energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of high-silica silicate rocks is notoriously challenging due to their poor cohesiveness, which prevents the formation of stable pressed pellets, and the scarcity of matrix-matched reference materials. To address these limitations, this study introduces a novel integrated methodology that synergistically combines an innovative  casting-solidification preparation technique with a robust substitution-dilution quantification algorithm. The preparation method employs metallographic resin to embed powdered samples, effectively overcoming cohesion issues and producing highly homogeneous (RSD < 4 %) and reproducible (RSD < 5.19 %) pellets. The mathematical algorithm leverages a fundamental hyperbolic relationship between the X-ray intensity and the substitution factor, enabling highly accurate quantification of major oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, CaO) using only a single standard reference material—thereby eliminating the critical dependency on multiple matrix-matched standards. Validation against a range of certified reference materials demonstrated excellent accuracy, with relative errors for major oxides ranging from 1.53 % to 6.72 % . A comprehensive uncertainty evaluation confirmed expanded uncertainties below  7.4 % at a 95 % confidence level. This integrated approach establishes a new, cost-effective, and reliable paradigm for EDXRF analysis of complex silicate materials.
高硅硅酸盐岩石的精确能量色散x射线荧光(EDXRF)分析是出了名的具有挑战性,因为它们的凝聚力差,这阻碍了稳定压球的形成,并且缺乏基质匹配的参考物质。为了解决这些限制,本研究引入了一种新的集成方法,该方法将创新的铸造凝固制备技术与强大的替代稀释量化算法协同结合。制备方法采用金相树脂包埋粉末样品,有效地克服了粘聚问题,生产出高度均匀(RSD < 4%)和可重复性(RSD < 5.19%)的颗粒。数学算法利用了x射线强度和替代因子之间的基本双曲关系,仅使用单一标准参考物质就可以高度精确地定量主要氧化物(SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, CaO),从而消除了对多个矩阵匹配标准的关键依赖。对一系列认证标准物质的验证证明了极好的准确性,主要氧化物的相对误差范围为1.53%至6.72%。综合不确定性评估确认在95%置信水平下扩大不确定性低于7.4%。这种综合方法为复杂硅酸盐材料的EDXRF分析建立了一种新的、经济有效的、可靠的范例。

Accurate monitoring of serum potassium (K) levels is essential for clinical diagnostics due to their vital roles in maintaining physiological functions. Although laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) enables rapid elemental analysis, its limited sensitivity and precision restrict its effectiveness in quantifying K in complex biological samples. This study explores the application of silver nanoparticle-coated filter paper (Ag NPs paper) as a substrate for nanoparticle-enhanced LIBS (NELIBS) to improve the quantitative detection of K. First, the preparation process of the Ag NPs paper substrate was systematically optimized. The optimal K detection signal was obtained with the Ag NPs paper substrate treated with 1.5 mol/L NaCl and colloidal Ag NPs at neutral pH. Then, the optimized Ag NPs paper was employed for quantitative determination of K in potassium-chloride (KCl) aqueous solution and fetal bovine serum (FBS), including hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, and normal potassium levels. Under these conditions, the limit of detection (LoD) of NELIBS for K was lower than that of normal LIBS, decreasing from 2.29 mmol/L (89.3 mg/L) to 0.81 mmol/L (31.6 mg/L) in KCl aqueous solution and from 0.96 mmol/L (37.4 mg/L) to 0.32 mmol/L (12.5 mg/L) in FBS, respectively. It also enabled reliable discrimination of concentration changes as small as 0.5 mmol/L. These findings highlight the feasibility of NELIBS for sensitive and accurate detection of electrolyte elements in complex biological samples, offering promising prospects for clinical diagnostics.
准确监测血清钾(K)水平对临床诊断至关重要,因为它们在维持生理功能中起着至关重要的作用。虽然激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)能够快速进行元素分析,但其有限的灵敏度和精度限制了其在复杂生物样品中定量K的有效性。本研究探索将纳米银涂层滤纸(Ag NPs纸)作为纳米颗粒增强LIBS (NELIBS)的衬底,以提高k的定量检测。首先,系统优化了Ag NPs纸衬底的制备工艺。将银NPs纸底物经1.5 mol/L NaCl和中性ph的胶体银NPs处理后获得最佳的钾检测信号,并将优化后的银NPs纸用于定量测定氯化钾(KCl)水溶液和胎牛血清(FBS)中的钾,包括低钾血症、高钾血症和正常钾水平。在此条件下,NELIBS对K的检出限(LoD)低于正常LIBS,在KCl水溶液中从2.29 mmol/L (89.3 mg/L)降至0.81 mmol/L (31.6 mg/L),在FBS中从0.96 mmol/L (37.4 mg/L)降至0.32 mmol/L (12.5 mg/L)。它还可以可靠地辨别小至0.5 mmol/L的浓度变化。这些发现突出了NELIBS在复杂生物样品中灵敏、准确检测电解质元素的可行性,为临床诊断提供了广阔的前景。
