Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of structural and chemical properties of Cr-based hard coatings
TL;DR: In this article, a series of chromium nitride, carbide and carbonitride coatings were prepared by ion plating using nitrogen and acetylene as reactive gases, and the depositions were made at different partial pressures of the reactive gases while maintaining other parameters constant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric charge transfer with hydrogen ions — An important factor in the “hydrogen effect” in glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy ☆
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hydrogen and nitrogen on the spectra of a number of elements (Fe, Ti, V, Ni, Zn etc) have been investigated and it has been shown that asymmetric charge transfer involving hydrogen ions (H-ACT) is a very important selective excitation mechanism for spectral lines with a total excitation energy close to 13.6 eV.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of hydrogen and nitrogen on emission spectra of iron and titanium atomic lines in analytical glow discharges
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hydrogen and nitrogen on the intensities of atomic emission lines of iron and titanium were investigated. And it was found that nitrogen does not have any similar effect: the gradient of the intensity ratios of both elements is negligible or even negative and no emission lines are enhanced in the presence of nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of matrix-specific calibrations for oxygen in analytical glow discharge spectrometry
Cristina González-Gago,Petr Šmíd,Thomas Hofmann,Cornel Venzago,Volker Hoffmann,Wolfgang Gruner +5 more
TL;DR: The performance of glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for oxygen determination is investigated using a set of new conductive samples containing oxygen in the percent range in three different matrices prepared by a sintering process to improve the oxygen sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsecond pulsed glow discharge in fast flow Grimm type sources for mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of microsecond pulsed glow discharge (PGD) in direct current mode to existing commercial mass spectrometers with the Grimm type fast flow sources is described.
