title: Analytical performance of an r.f. capacitively coupled plasma for atomic emission with tip-ring electrode geometry.
abstract: A low to medium power radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasma is characterized as spectral source for atomic emission. The signal to background ratio and the limits of detection were determined for 19 elements as a function of the plasma torch geometry and the observation point.
