Scientists have investigated elemental fractionation in aerosol laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using nanosecond and femtosecond laser ablation. Their study focused on analyzing cesium atomic emissions from airborne nanoparticles in a binary particle matrix. The findings shed light on the influence of the particle matrix on elemental fractionation effects and provide insights for improving LIBS analysis in atmospheric radiation plume tracking.
