T1 - Emission spectra of copper and argon in an argon glow discharge containing small quantities of hydrogen JF - Journal of analytical atomic spectrometry N2 - The influence of hydrogen contained in a sample or otherwise introduced into a glow discharge source (GDS) is here extensively experimentally presented for the case of copper as a sample by means of the addition of small quantities of molecular hydrogen (<1% relative partial pressure) to the argon carrier gas. The progressive addition of molecular hydrogen causes different intensity changes particular to the individual lines of different species such as atomic (Cu I) and ionic (Cu II) copper, and also atomic (Ar I) and ionic (Ar II) argon. Some interesting features of the emission spectrum of hydrogen such as its line, band and even continuum spectrum are observed. It was also found that the depth resolution becomes worse even at very low concentrations of hydrogen.
