An electrical detection system for a spark-source mass spectrograph.
An electrical detection system has been developed which can be used with the high-frequency spark-source mass spectrograph. Details of the system are discussed and examples are given illustrating its advantages (rapidity and precision). One distinct advantage of electrical detection is that a constant volume of sample material is used for each impurity determination. The system can also be used to assess sample inhomogeneities.
