laser-induced vaporization
1Laser ablation — is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates. At high laser flux, the… …
2Ablación láser — La ablación láser es un procedimiento que se usa para quitar o extraer el material de la superficie de un sólido (de manera ocasional se puede usar en líquidos[1] ) mediante la irradiación de este con un rayo láser. Cuando el flujo de radiación… …
3Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization — MALDI TOF mass spectrometer Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry, allowing the analysis of biomolecules (biopolymers such as DNA, proteins, peptides and sugars) and large… …
4Spallation — In general, spallation is a process in which fragments of material (spall) are ejected from a body due to impact or stress. In nuclear physics, it is the process in which a heavy nucleus emits a large number of nucleons as a result of being hit… …
5Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry — Infobox Journal title = JAAS discipline = analytical chemistry abbreviation = JAAS JAAS (Cambridge, UK) website = http://www.rsc.org/publishing/journals/ja/ publisher = Royal Society of Chemistry country = United Kingdom history = 1986 to present …
6Thermodynamic temperature — is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point …
7Nobel Prizes — ▪ 2009 Introduction Prize for Peace The 2008 Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to Martti Ahtisaari, former president (1994–2000) of Finland, for his work over more than 30 years in settling international disputes, many involving ethnic,… …
8Earth Sciences — ▪ 2009 Introduction Geology and Geochemistry The theme of the 33rd International Geological Congress, which was held in Norway in August 2008, was “Earth System Science: Foundation for Sustainable Development.” It was attended by nearly… …
9Mass spectrometry — (MS) is an analytical technique that measures the mass to charge ratio of charged particles.[1] It is used for determining masses of particles, for determining the elemental composition of a sample or molecule, and for elucidating the chemical… …
10Plasma (physics) — For other uses, see Plasma. Plasma lamp, illustrating some of the more complex phenomena of a plasma, including filamentation. The colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined… …
