T1 - Recent Trends in Inexpensive Lithium Isotopic Analysis N2 - Lithium exists in two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li. The ratio of these in every ore varies depending on the geological history of the sample, thus providing a tool for fingerprinting the distinct origin of Li containing samples. Determination of the exact isotope ratio for e.g. designation of provenance today relies on expensive and bulky instrumentation such as multi `collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry` (MC-ICP-MS). These instruments, however, are known to bear pitfalls in the characterization of particular elements including Lithium. BAM recently developed two alternative analytical devices for this task, solely relying on inexpensive optical spectroscopy in combination with state-of-the-art multivariate data analysis such as Machine learning algorithms. Both techniques have been comprehensively studied using certified reference materials and comparing the results to MC-ICP-MS results and could be shown to result in comparable figures of merit, paving the way for a more general accessibility to provenance determination instrumentation. The results also pave the way towards even further simplification of the laboratory infrastructure demands and to further include additional elements into the isotopic fingerprinting methodology.

T1 - Optical Detection of Defects during Laser Metal Deposition N2 - Laser metal deposition is a rapidly evolving method for additive manufacturing that combines high performance and simplified production routine. Quality of production depends on an instrumental design and operational parameters, which require constant control during the process. In this work, feasibility of using optical spectroscopy as a control method is studied via modeling and experimentally. A simplified thermal model is developed based on the time-dependent diffusion-conduction heat equation and geometrical light collection into detection optics. Intense light emitted by a laser-heated spot moving across a sample surface is collected and processed to yield the temperature and other temperature-related parameters. In the presence of surface defects, the temperature field is distorted in a specific manner that depends on shape and size of the defect. Optical signals produced by such the distorted temperature fields are simulated and verified experimentally using a 3D metal printer and a sample with artificially carved defects. Three quantities are tested as possible metrics for monitoring the process: temperature, integral intensity, and correlation coefficient. The shapes of the simulated signals qualitatively agree with the experimental signals; this allows for a cautious inference that optical spectroscopy can detect surface defects and, possibly, predict their characters, e.g., inner or protruding.

T1 - Multifaceted laser induced plasma: spectroscopy and beyond N2 - In this presentation, I will give a brief overview of my personal experience with laser induced plasma (LIP). I will start from my and colleagues’ early works, where we used LIP as an atomic reservoir for laser induced fluorescence (LIP). We applied LIP-LIF for a sensitive detection of trace elements in various materials and demonstrated that under certain conditions the technique can even be used for isotope analysis. Next, I will discuss the application of LIP spectroscopy, i.e., LIBS, to material identification that nowadays constitutes one of the best applications of this technique. In those early days, we used correlation analysis for spectra processing; it is now replaced by more powerful chemometric methods. Further, I will stop on our efforts in modeling LIP that we first intended for the improved quality of spectroscopic analysis and later extended to non-spectroscopic fields such as chemical vapor deposition and surface structuring. We developed a version of calibration-free LIBS, in which we iterated model-generated spectra until a close match was achieved between experimental and synthetic spectra to determine concentrations. Next, I will briefly overview our recent developments in plasma modeling that include plasma chemistry. This was important in view of widening application of LIBS as a molecular technique. I will also address several plasma diagnostics, e.g., Radon transform tomography that we developed to get more insight about LIP that was helpful for both analytic spectroscopy and modeling. Finally, I will mention several exotic applications of LIP such as LIP-based lasers and chemical reactors to illustrate a real multifaceted character of laser induced plasma and usefulness of its study for many science fields.

A1 - Kornev, R. A. A1 - Veiko, V. P. T1 - Molecule formation in reactive LIBS plasmas: model and experiment N2 - Formation and detection of molecules in laser induced plasmas (LIP) is a hot topic. In analytical plasmas like LIBS, the detection of molecules is important for identification of geological and other materials, analysis of isotopes and difficult elements (Cl, F, etc.) via molecular emission. In chemical plasmas, like PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) or PLD (pulsed laser deposition), molecules formed in the plasma determine a composition and a thickness of deposits. Similarly, molecules play an important role in microstructuring and oxidizing metal surfaces by laser ablation. It is unfortunate that different communities, which utilize plasma methods and seek for solutions of similar problems, do not strongly overlap, and do not fully use knowledge accumulated by each other. In this presentation, mechanisms of formation of molecules will be analyzed on the example of LIPs used for chemical vapor deposition and metal microstructuring. Theoretical analysis includes equilibrium chemistry calculations combined with plasma hydrodynamics. First, LIP excited in a gas mixture of BCl3 or BF3 with H2 or CH4 will be analyzed; this chemical system is used for obtaining deposits of refractory solid boron and boron carbide. Second, a breakdown in the SiF4 + SiCl4 gas mixtures will be described; this method allows synthesis of fluorochlorosilanes SiFxCl4-x (x = 1, 2, 3), the good etching agents (Figure). Third, solid ablation of Mo in BF3+H2 and Ti in air will be considered aimed at obtaining deposits of high hardness MoxBy and films of TixOy on textured Ti surfaces, correspondingly. In experiment, reaction gases before and after laser illumination, and solid deposits are analyzed by optical emission spectroscopy (OES), IR and mass spectrometry (MS), SEM, X-ray, and AFM. It will be shown that the hydrodynamic-chemical model adequately predicts the composition of LIPs, zones of molecular formation, dependence on reactant stoichiometry, plasma temperature and pressure.

It is based on a quasi-continuous laser-induced plasma (LIP), generated by a 26 kHz pulsed DPSS-laser, which is ignited in front of the MS inlet. Analytes are determined with different sampling regimes, comprising either an ambient desorption/ionization mechanism, a liquid-phase or gas-phase sample introduction. The MS signal closely resembles the ionization behavior of APCI-like plasma-based sources, such as DBD or DART. Though LIPs are known to efficiently atomize/ionize any sample material, mass spectra of intact molecular ions are recorded, exhibiting low fragment-ion content. To understand this contradictory behavior, the plasma properties are investigated that lead to the formation of molecular ions. Comprehensive studies include optical emission spectroscopy, shadowgraph imaging and mass spectrometry diagnostics. The results show that the ionization of analyte does not occur in the plasma itself, but in the cold adjacent gas layer. The pulsed character of LIPs induces an expanding shockwave, which concentrically expands around the plasma core and sweeps the molecules toward the plasma edges, where they are ionized either directly by the self-emission of the hot core or via interaction with secondary reactants. However, this unidirectional transport causes a rarefaction inside the plasma center, which leads to a decrease in plasma intensity and number density. Thus, a restoration of the former gaseous medium by other dynamically equilibrated diffusion processes would be favorable. Besides gas replenishing, we demonstrate the beneficial use of an acoustical standing wave inside an ultrasonic resonator on the performance of the LIP.

A1 - Sennikov, P. A1 - Kornev, R. T1 - Laser induced gas breakdown in reactive mixtures N2 - Plasma-chemical approach is used for synthesis of various gaseous, liquid, and solid substances since 1960th. Nowadays, the method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used for production of thin films, protective coatings, carbon-based nanostructures, high purity isotopic materials, biomaterials, and other products. Plasma for PECVD is typically created in various electrical discharges, e.g. DC and AC glow discharges or discharges operated at audio (10-20 kHz), radio (13.56 MHz), and microwave (2.45 GHz) frequencies. Plasma induced by a laser, a laser induced plasma (LIP), is rarely used to deposit materials from the gas phase as in PECVD. This work is aimed at reviving interest to this latter technology and showing its efficiency and potential. We run several pilot experiments. First, LIP is excited in BCl3 or BF3 plus H2 or CH4 to evaluate the efficiency of deposition of solid boron and boron carbide, the materials, which are largely used for refractory coatings. Second, we investigate a possibility of synthesis of fluorochlorosilanes SiFxCl4-x (x = 1, 2, 3) by LIP induced in SiF4 + SiCl4 gas mixtures. Using fluorochlorosilanes with different combinations of F and Cl in the SiFxCly molecule may add flexibility in processes of silicon deposition and etching. Third, LIP is excited in reactive mixture MoF6+H2+BF3 or on a Mo target ablated into H2/BF3 atmosphere. The goal is obtaining superhard molybdenum borides MoB, Mo2B, or MoB2. The gases used and solid deposits are analyzed by optical emission spectroscopy (OES), IR and mass spectrometry (MS). We also model the plasma and perform static equilibrium chemistry calculations to see if the desired reaction products are thermodynamically favorable. Dynamic calculations of the expanding plasma plume are performed using a hydrodynamic code combined with the open source chemical software.

Originally an atomic analysis technique, LIBS was later extended to molecular analysis due to the transient nature of the laser-induced plasma, which develops from a hot dissociation stage on a nanosecond to several microsecond scale to a relatively cold recombination stage on a scale of 10 to 100 microseconds after breakdown. Molecules formed during the recombination stage or incompletely dissociated after ablation can be efficiently detected, allowing the analysis of "difficult" elements or even molecular isotopes. However, with a small amount of ablated material and a short lifetime of the luminous plasma, analytical signals, especially molecular ones, can be very weak. Several methods have been proposed for reheating the plasma and increasing its lifetime, for example, a two-pulse LIBS or a LIBS combined with microwave radiation or with an electric spark discharge. Here we propose another one, LIBS combined with a capacitively coupled RF discharge at 13.6 MHz. The advantages of this combination are an increase in the lifetime of atomic and molecular emission and operation in a low-pressure atmosphere, which significantly reduces pressure line broadening and allows high-resolution spectroscopy. Another major advantage is operating in a chemically controlled atmosphere that can predictably drive desired chemical reactions. In this presentation, we will show the first results obtained with RF-LIBS combination. These will include separate and joint characterization of LIBS and RF plasmas and evaluation of its potential for elemental and molecular analysis and for plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

One such damage is pitting corrosion of the steel reinforcement caused by chloride ingress into the porous concrete structure. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising method in civil engineering, which is used for detection of chlorine in concrete structures in addition to conventional methods of wet chemistry. To assess LIBS as a trustful analytical technique, its accuracy and robustness is carefully tested. The presentation will outline the results of the interlaboratory comparison of chlorine quantification in cement paste samples, which was carried out by 12 laboratories in 10 countries. Two sets of samples with chloride content ranging from 0.06-1.95 wt.% in the training set and 0.23-1.51 wt.% in the test sample set (“unknowns”), with additional variations in the type of cement and chlorine source (salt type) were sent to the laboratories. The overall result demonstrates that LIBS is suitable for the quantification of the investigated sample compositions: average relative bias was mostly below 15 %. Considering that the laboratories did not receive instructions on how to perform the analysis or how to process the data, the results can be evaluated as a true status quo of the LIBS technique for this type of analysis.

The potential of digital technologies belongs to these. A current approach uses flexible and modular chemical production units, which can produce different high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce the time to market of new products. At the same time, we need to move towards knowledge-based production that takes into account all essential equipment, process and control data from plants and laboratories and makes valuable expertise available and transferable. The potential of data from production together with its contextual information is often not yet consistently used today for a comprehensive understanding of production. By giving examples this paper outlines a possible more holistic approach to digitalisation and the use of machine-based methods in the production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals through the introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.

This requires measuring the integrated intensities of the spectral lines and the linewidth under the assumption of optical thinness. It is taken for granted that this can be easily done either by working with the raw spectra or by fitting the appropriate function to the observed spectral lines. However, extracting the necessary information from raw spectral data is not as easy as it might seem. The quality of such extraction will depend to a decisive extent on the type of spectral instrument used. The spectrum emitted by the plasma is distorted by the device; an example is shown in Fig. 1. The elimination of this distortion belongs to the class of inverse problems, the successful solution of which fundamentally depends on the quality of the available information. When it comes to spectroscopy, the quality of information primarily means high spectral resolution and low noise. Not all spectrometers used in LIBS can provide the quality needed to solve the inverse problem; this casts doubt on many published plasma measurements. This communication will be devoted to the general shortcomings of spectral data processing and the inaccuracies in determining the plasma parameters resulting from these shortcomings. The analysis is based on the use of synthetic spectra generated by plasma with known temperature, particle density and electron density. The estimation of errors caused by inadequate processing of spectral data is made by comparing the initial and measured plasma parameters from the spectra. Recommendations will be made for which analytic function best approximates the observed spectral lines, and how data processing errors affect the accuracy of calibration-free LIBS will be discussed. These issues were only partially covered in previously published works, for example [1, 2].

While the integral intensity is preserved as light passes through the spectrometer, the shape emitted by an individual atom or ion is greatly distorted. This is due, firstly, to the transfer of light through the plasma (self-absorption), secondly, to the influence of the instrumental function of the spectrometer, and, thirdly, to the aberrations of the optical system. In addition, processing of spectral information, such as background removal, noise reduction, deconvolution, and line fitting, introduces additional errors in the reconstructed linewidth and line integral, which leads to erroneous temperature and electron density values. This communication will be devoted to the general shortcomings of spectral data processing and the resulting inaccuracies in determining the plasma parameters. The analysis is based on the use of synthetic spectra generated by plasma with known temperature and particle density. The estimation of errors caused by inadequate processing of the spectral data is made by comparing the initial and determined plasma parameters. As a result, an improved data processing method will be proposed that takes into account the spectrum distortion by the instrumental function and integration on the pixel detector. The former is accounted for by convolution (instead of deconvolution) of the estimated line profile using a predetermined slit function, and the latter is achieved by piecewise integration of the line profile by the pixel detector, taking into account the pixel size and uniform or non-uniform pixel separation. Recommendations will be made for which analytic function best approximates the observed spectral lines and examples will be given for the application of this routine to calibration-free LIBS using both synthetic and experimental data.

The first requires the measurement of the integrated intensities of the spectral lines, and the second requires the measurement of the linewidth, under the same assumption of optical thinness. It is taken for granted that this can be easily done either by working with the raw spectra or by fitting an appropriate function to the observed spectral lines. As a rule, reported data are not verified either by an alternative method (e.g., Thomson scattering) or by computer simulations using synthetic spectra. However, the question of how to extract the necessary information from the raw spectral data is not as simple as it might seem. The quality of such an extraction will depend critically on the type of spectral instrument used, its resolution, and the noise superimposed on the data. The problem is that we do not see the spectrum emitted by the plasma, but the spectrum distorted by the measurement; an exaggerated example of such a distortion is shown in Fig. 1. The elimination of this distortion belongs to the class of inverse problems, the so-called ill-posed problems, whose successful solution crucially depends on the quality of the information available. When it comes to spectroscopy, quality of information primarily means high spectral resolution and low noise. Not all spectrometers used in LIBS can provide the quality needed to solve the inverse problem; this casts doubt on many published plasma measurements. The current presentation will be devoted to general shortcomings in the processing of spectral data and inaccuracies in the determination of plasma parameters resulting from these shortcomings. The analysis is based on the use of synthetic spectra produced by plasma with known characteristics, i.e., temperature, species densities, and electron density. The estimation of errors caused by inadequate processing of spectral data is made by comparing the initial and reconstructed plasma parameters.

Phosphate, PO43-, and many transition metals e.g. Ni and Co are listed as critical raw materials (CRMs) due to their indispensable role in numerous industrial processes. However, these elements can also exert harmful environmental impacts, with phosphorus being a major contributor to anthropogenic eutrophication and transition metal ions acting as toxic pollutants, particularly in ground- and wastewaters. Typically, separate pathways have been considered to extract hazardous substances such as transition metals or phosphate, independently from each other. Here, we report the crystallization pathways of transition metal phosphate (TMP) compounds, M-struvite and M-phosphate octahydrate with M = Ni2+, Co2+, NixCo1-x2+, NH4MPO4∙6H2O, M3(PO4)2∙8H2O from aqueous solutions. The co-precipitation of these particular TMP compounds from industrial and agricultural wastewaters has high potential as a P- and 3d metal recovery route. For efficient extraction and transformation of the TMPs, a comprehensive understanding of their nucleation and crystallization pathways from aqueous solutions is required. While the crystallization mechanisms of magnesium or calcium phosphate-bearing phases have been researched for many decades (e.g. struvite, apatite), investigations into TMP materials are relatively scarce and often focus on the adsorption of transition metals on the surface instead of their actual incorporation in minerals. In our study, we investigated in detail the precipitation process of several Co and Ni phosphates using ex- and in-situ spectroscopic-, spectrometric- and diffraction-/scattering-based techniques. We show that the crystallization behavior of TMPs, indeed deviates from a classical crystallization paradigm and follows a non-classical multi-step pathway. Our work extends the understanding of TMP crystallization by elucidating the formation of amorphous precursors preceding the final crystalline phase This time-dependent transition of the transition metal precursor phases can be observed by electron-imaging/tomography depicting a progressively changing amorphous solids until their ultimate reconfiguration to a crystal (Figure 1). Here, the two-metallic NixCo1-x-mixtures deviated anomalously in their reaction kinetics, crystallization outcome and participation of both metals from their pure endmembers. By measuring the crystallization with in-situ X-ray scattering and pH using a flow-through setup geometry, a complex prolonged interplay among nucleating entities e.g. and amorphous or crystalline solids could be observed in the metal phosphate mixtures reaching equilibrium after almost two and a half hours (Figure 2). Our results provide a holistic perspective on the crystallization behavior of transition metal phosphate phases, shedding light on their unique nucleation and growth kinetics involving structural and chemical transformations of the intermediate phases.

T1 - Back Deposition of Titanium Oxides under Laser Ablation of Titanium: Simulation and Experiment N2 - Titanium is widely used in medicine for implants and prostheses, thanks to its high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and high corrosion resistance. Pure titanium, however, has low wear resistance and may release metallic titanium into surrounding tissues. Structuring and coating its surface with oxide layers are necessary for high wear resistance and improved biocompatibility. In this work, a combination of theoretical and experimental methods was used to study processes responsible for deposition of titanium oxides during ablation of titanium in air. The deposition process was modeled via the Navier-Stokes equations that accounted for the material removal and accumulation of the deposit on the ablation surface. The chemical part was based on the equilibrium model embedded into the hydrodynamic code. Simulations showed that the most active zone of production of condensed titanium oxides were at plasma periphery whereas a zone of strong condensation of titanium metal was above the molten pool. In experiment, a pulsed Yb fiber laser was scanned across a titanium surface. The temperature and composition of the plasma were inferred from plasma emission spectra. The post-ablation surface was analyzed by SEM, TEM, STEM, AFM, and XRD. The developed model well reproduced the main features of experimental data. It was concluded that the deposition of condensed metal oxides from the plasma is a principal mechanism of formation of nanoporous oxide layer on the metal surface. The method of surface structuring and modification by nanosecond laser ablation can be developed into a useful technology that may find applications in medicine, photonics, and other areas.

This method is based on monitoring the isotope shift of approximately 15 pm for the electronic transition 22P←22S at around the wavelength of 670.8 nm, which can be measured by state-of-the-art HR-CS-AAS. Isotope analysis can be used for (i) the traceable determination of Li concentration and (ii) isotope amount ratio analysis based on a combination of HR-CS-AAS and spectral data analysis by machine learning (ML). In the first case, the Li spectra are described as the linear superposition of the contributions of the respective isotopes, each consisting of a spin-orbit doublet, which can be expressed as Gaussian components with constant spectral position and width and different relative intensity, reflecting the isotope ratio in the sample. Precision was further improved by using lanthanum as internal spectral standard. The procedure has been validated using human serum-certified reference materials. The results are metrologically comparable and compatible with the certified values. In the second case, for isotope amount ratio analysis, a scalable tree boosting ML algorithm (XGBoost) was employed and calibrated using a set of samples with 6Li isotope amount fractions ranging from 0.06 to 0.99 mol mol−1. The training ML model was validated with certified reference materials. The procedure was applied to the isotope amount ratio determination of a set of stock chemicals and a BAM candidate reference material NMC111 (LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2), a Li-battery cathode material. These determinations were compared with those obtained by MC-ICP-MS and found to be metrologically comparable and compatible. The residual bias was −1.8‰, and the precision obtained ranged from 1.9‰ to 6.2‰. This precision was sufficient to resolve naturally occurring variations. The NMC111 cathode candidate reference material was analyzed using high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry with and without matrix purification to assess its suitability for technical applications. The results obtained were metrologically compatible with each other.

Food industry often runs own lab procedures, e.g., for mycotoxin analysis, but it is a major goal to simplify analysis, linking analytical methods with miniaturized technologies. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, with photometric detection of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), form a good basis for sensitive detection. To provide a straight-forward approach for the miniaturization of the detection step, we have studied the pitfalls of the electrochemical TMB detection. By cyclic voltammetry, it could be shown that TMB electrochemistry is strongly dependent on the pH and the electrode material. It was found that screen-printed gold electrodes and a very low pH value (pH 1) are well-suited to perform the electrochemical detection of TMB, due to the reversible character of the redox reaction under these conditions. Under these conditions, a good signal stability over several measuring cycles is achieved, providing the basis for analyzing multiple samples. In contrast to this, for carbon screen-printed electrodes, it was found that the signal response has changed after the electrochemical reaction with TMB at pH 1. At moderately acidic conditions (pH 4), neither with carbon nor with gold electrodes a reproducible electrochemical detection of TMB could be achieved. Based on these findings, we created a smartphone-based, electrochemical, immunomagnetic assay for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) and ergometrine in food samples. A competitive assay is performed on magnetic beads using HRP and TMB/H2O2 to generate the signal. Enzymatically oxidized TMB is quantified after addition of H2SO4 by amperometry with screen-printed gold electrodes in a custom-made wall-jet flow cell. The results are in good correlation with the established photometric detection method, providing a solid basis for sensing of further analytes in HRP-based assays using the newly developed miniaturized smartphone-based, electrochemical, immunomagnetic assay.

T1 - A Long Way of Plasma Modeling: Personal Experience N2 - Modeling is an important tool for understanding a physical phenomenon. It helps to interpret results of experiments and optimize experimental parameters for obtaining a desirable result. Modeling laser induced plasma is beneficial for many scientific and industrial fields, e.g., analytical chemistry, pulsed laser deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, laser welding, additive manufacturing etc. In this presentation, a personal experience in development of a physical model of laser induced plasma will be given in a chronological sequence starting from early 2000th and until now. Over the time, the model evolved from its simple analytical form that described plasma emission spectra to its current numerical form that describes plasma dynamics, chemistry, and interaction with a substrate surface. Several examples will be given for the application of the model to practical problems such as spectroscopic chemical analysis, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and surface modification by laser ablation.

An atomic or molecular understanding of basic processes in chemistry, soft matter physics, materials and life science is enabled only through new analytical methods and instrumentation. Similar observations can be found for pressing sociopolitical conflicts of the future: A rational discussion of global climate change or new energy sources is only possible with reliable analytical results. Progress in Analytical Sciences is only possible if the underlying interdisciplinary character is acknowledged and valued. The talk will illustrate the scope of modern Analytical Science through examples from process analysis relevant to modern process intensification and industry 4.0 to bioanalysis and the use of synchrotron radiation to elucidate fundamental reactions materials.
