Process in glow-discharge atomic emission spectroscopy in which sample volatilization occurs by heating due to sample bombardment with argon ions.
Notes:
- The process causes evaporation of the sample constituents in accordance to their boiling-points.
- Although this technique offers highest detection power for most volatile elements its use in routine applications is still limited by the analytical challenges posed by the transient nature of the analyte signal.
