	abstract = {The effect of easily ionized element (EIE) matrices on analyte emission, from a parallel plate capacitively coupled plasma (PP-CCP), has been studied. NaCl and NaNO3 were used as typical matrices and the interference on Ag emission was studied as a function of the amount of EIE and applied plasma forward power. Compared with the emission signal without the presence of matrices, the presence of either NaCl or NaNO3 as a concomitant in the sample, causes an interference effect by both enhancing, and decreasing, the emission intensity depending on the amount of added EIE. The maximum signal interference, signal enhancement, was observed at 125 W plasma forward power. The degree of enhancement from an EIE decreases with increasing forward power switching to a signal depression at a forward power of 250 W. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {The degree of ionization for Mg and Cd vaporized into a parallel plate capacitively coupled plasma (PP-CCP) has been studied. Using electrothermal vaporization and a CCP operating at 200 W, the degree of ionization is 83\% and 48\% for Mg and Cd, respectively. An increase in applied power increases the degree of ionization. Changes in plasma gas flow rate, up to 1.0 l min(-1), also change the degree of ionization slightly, probably due to mass transport effects and slight changes in the discharge conditions. Additions of EIE (Na as NaNO3) up to 10 times (w/w) the analyte increase the degree of ionization slightly.},

	abstract = {Electronic excitation (T-exc) and rotational (T-rot) temperatures were determined for a parallel plate capacitively coupled rf plasma operating at atmospheric pressure. T-exc was calculated from the slope of the Boltzmann plot using Fe and He as the thermometric species and Ph excitation temperature was calculated using the two line method. Over a power range from 100 W to 250 W, excitation temperatures are 3255-3900 K for He, 3540-4500 K for Pb, and 4300-4890 K for Fe. The rotational temperature was measured using both OK and N-2(+) molecular spectra and the values are in the range of 828-911 K and 845-956 K respectively over a power range of 75-275 W. Signal-to-noise ratios, signal-to-background ratios, and absolute detection limit for lead (0.33 ng) and silver (24 pg) are also reported. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.},

Four different sizes of quartz tubes were compared with respect to spatial emission features for support gas and analyte species. Torches studied had the following inside dimensions: a 1-mm capillary tube with round cross section, a 2 x 4 mm tube, a 4 x 4 mm tube, and a 6 x 6 mm tube. Relative emission intensities of near-infrared lines for F, Cl, Br, I, C, N, and O atomic and ionic lines excited with the use of the He-CCP are tabulated. The detection limits range from 10 to 78 pg/s.},
