Günther et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2012, 27, 1863
This month’s issue of JAAS is now online and ready for you to read. On the outside front cover comes an image from a research paper by former Chair of the Editorial Board Detlef Günther, J. M. Koornneef and colleagues in Switzerland and Germany, who have been studying the the potential of femtosecond laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (fs-LA-MC-ICPMS) for in situ analysis of U–Th disequilibria in titanite.
In situ analysis of 230Th–232Th–238U ratios in titanite by fs-LA-MC-ICPMS
J. M. Koornneef, L. Dorta, B. Hattendorf, G. H. Fontaine, B. Bourdon, A. Stracke, P. Ulmer and D. Günther

Butorin et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2012, 27, 1882
On the inside front cover we have an image from Sergei Butorin, Uppsala University, who with colleagues from France and Sweden have been studying the valence bands of copper to enable distinguishing between different monovalent copper compounds. An important factor in the debate concerning copper corrosion in oxygen-free water.
Cu Kβ2,5 X-ray emission spectroscopy as a tool for characterization of monovalent copper compounds
J. R. Vegelius, K. O. Kvashnina, M. Klintenberg, I. L. Soroka and S. M. Butorin
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2012, 27, 1882-1888
DOI: 10.1039/C2JA30095H
These cover papers will be free to read for 6 weeks.
We also have two very interesting Tutorial Reviews this month. The first is a beginner’s guide to nuclear forensics by F. E. Stanley, and the second is a review of green chemistry in AAS by C. Bendicho and colleagues. These reviews will be free to read until Oct 26th.
