Issue 4 now online

A themed issue on glow discharge spectroscopy

Bordel et al, 26(4): 758-765

Our themed issue highlighting the latest work in Glow Discharge Spectroscopy is now online.

An Editorial by Philippe Guillot, Cornel Venzago and Gerardo Gamez provides an overview of the International Glow Discharge Spectroscopy Symposium 2010:

Editorial: International glow discharge spectroscopy symposium, Albi, France, August 22–25, 2010
Philippe Guillot, Cornel Venzago and Gerardo Gamez
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2011, 26, 647-648
DOI: 10.1039/C1JA90004H

A second Editorial, by Gerardo Gamez, considers the work of GLADNET:

Editorial: Weaving the glow discharge net
Gerardo Gamez
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2011, 26, 649-652
DOI: 10.1039/C1JA90005F

Our appropriately glowing front cover shows work by Nerea Bordel and colleagues, characterizing two plasma regimes:

Spatial characterization of pressure-based plasma regimes in a radiofrequency glow discharge by using optical emission spectroscopy
Rebeca Valledor, Jorge Pisonero, Thomas Nelis and Nerea Bordel
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2011, 26, 758-765
DOI: 10.1039/C0JA00177E

Sanz-Medel et al., 26(4): 776-783

The inside front cover highlights the work of Alredo Sanz-Medel and co-workers, which investigates conductor and insulator layers using pulsed-RF-GD-OES:

Analytical performance of pulsed radiofrequency glow discharge optical emission spectrometry for bulk and in-depth profile analysis of conductors and insulators
Deborah Alberts, Beatriz Fernández, Rosario Pereiro and Alfredo Sanz-Medel
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2011, 26, 776-783
DOI: 10.1039/C0JA00094A
