The calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) technique requires no reference samples of the same matrix to establish calibration curve, not affected by effect. In recent years, CF-LIBS technology has greatly progressed, and accuracy quantitative analysis gradually improved. purpose this review was introduce fundamental modified algorithms. Boltzmann plot method, Saha–Bolt...

This paper presents a technique for identification of solid materials by localized microwaves. A small hotspot (~1-mm) created by thermal-runaway instability on the material surface is further radiated by the localized microwaves hence ejecting a plasma plume. Its atomic emission spectrum is detected and analyzed by an optical spectrometer for element identification, as in the known laser-induc...

In this review we attempt to provide a brief account of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) methodology and technological developments. We also summarise various methods adopted for exploiting LIBS. Besides, overview combination LIBS in conjunction with other is given.
