Atomic Spectroscopy: Absorption, Emission, and Fluorescence

التحليل الطيفي الذري هو أداة تحليلية للتحليل الأولي النوعي والكمي.
تشمل الأنواع الرئيسية التحليل الطيفي للامتصاص الذري ، أو AAS ؛ التحليل الطيفي للانبعاث الذري ، أو AES ؛ والتحليل الطيفي الفلوري الذري ، أو AFS.
تبدأ الطرق الثلاث بالانحلال ، وهي الخطوة الحاسمة لتكسير العينات السائلة إلى ذرات طور غازي.
في AAS ، تمتص العينات الغازية الساخنة المشعة بمجموعة من الإشعاع الكهرومغناطيسي الضوء من الأطوال الموجية المحددة التي تسبب انتقالات إلكترونية في الذرات إلى مدارات عالية الطاقة.
يتم قياس كمية الضوء المنقولة عند كل طول موجي بواسطة الكاشف. 
في AES ، يتسبب إدخال الحرارة أو التفريغ الكهربائي على الذرات الغازية في الحالة الأرضية في إثارة إلكترونية.
تعود هذه الذرات عالية الطاقة بسرعة إلى الحالة الأرضية ، وتنبعث منها فوتونات تتطابق مع اختلافات الطاقة.
في AFS ، يتم تشعيع الذرات الغازية للحالة الأرضية بطول موجي مميز لتعزيز ذرة معينة إلى الحالة المثارة.
إذا كانت الذرة موجودة ، فإنها تتألق ، والتي يتم قياسها بواسطة كاشف يوضع بزاوية قائمة على شعاع الليزر.

التحليل الطيفي الذري: الامتصاص والانبعاث والفلورسنت

<div style="direction:rtl">
يعتبر التحليل الطيفي الذري أداة حيوية تستخدم في تحليل العناصر، سواء من الناحية النوعية أو الكمية. ويمكن تقسيمه على نطاق واسع إلى طرق التحليل الطيفي البصري، والتحليل الطيفي الكتلي، والتحليل الطيفي بالأشعة السينية. تشمل الطرق الطيفية البصرية التحليل الطيفي للامتصاص الذري (AAS)، والتحليل الطيفي للانبعاث الذري (AES)، والتحليل الطيفي للفلورية الذرية (AFS). تبدأ جميع هذه الطرق بعملية التذرية، حيث يتم تحويل العينات الصلبة أو السائلة أو المحاليل إلى ذرات وأيونات في الطور الغازي.

في التحليل الطيفي للامتصاص الذري، تتفاعل العينات الغازية مع الإشعاع الكهرومغناطيسي وتمتص الفوتونات ذات الطاقات المحددة التي تدفع إلكترونات الذرات من الحالة الأرضية إلى حالاتها المثارة. على سبيل المثال، يتم ترقية الإلكترون غير المقترن 3s لذرة الصوديوم إلى المدار 3p أو 4p أو 5p عند امتصاص إشعاع يبلغ طوله 285 نانومتر أو 330 نانومتر أو 590 نانومتر على التوالي. يتم قياس الانخفاض في شدة الضوء المار عند أطوال موجية معينة بواسطة الكاشف ويتم عرض النتائج على شكل طيف الامتصاص أو النفاذية.

في التحليل الطيفي للانبعاث الذري AES، يتم إثارة الذرات الغازية في الحالة الأرضية إلكترونيًا باستخدام طاقة حرارية أو طاقة التفريغ الكهربائي. تعود هذه الذرات المثارة قصيرة العمر وعالية الطاقة إلى الحالة الأرضية مرة أخرى، وتنبعث منها فوتونات تتوافق مع فجوة الطاقة بين الحالتين. يتم الكشف عن شدة الضوء المنبعث وتحويلها إلى إشارة كهربائية توفر بصمة مميزة للعينة. على سبيل المثال، تؤدي التحولات الإلكترونية لذرات الصوديوم المثارة من المدارات 3p و4p و5p إلى المدار 3s إلى انبعاثات بطول موجي يبلغ حوالي 590 نانومتر و330 نانومتر و285 نانومتر على التوالي. يتم قياس الإشعاع المنبعث ومعالجته لإنتاج طيف.

في التحليل الطيفي للفلورية الذرية AFS، يتم تشعيع الذرات الغازية في الحالة الأرضية بطول موجي مميز وترقيتها إلى الحالة المثارة إلكترونيًا. بشرط عدم حدوث انتقال بدون إشعاع، تسترخي ذرات الحالة المثارة إلى الحالة الأرضية عن طريق إطلاق فلورية بنفس طول الموجة الذي امتصته. يتم وضع الكاشف عادةً بزاوية قائمة بالنسبة لشعاع المصدر بحيث تصل إليه فقط الانبعاثات الفلورية.

على عكس الأطياف الجزيئية، تتميز الأطياف الذرية بخطوط حادة نظرًا لغياب حالات الطاقة الدورانية والاهتزازية المختلفة التي تؤدي إلى اتساع القمم في الأطياف الجزيئية.

element analysis with atomic light spectra

Atomic spectroscopy is used to identify and measure elements by their light signals. It supports both qualitative analysis, which tells what is present, and quantitative analysis, which tells how much is present. The optical methods in this group are atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy.

These methods begin with atomization. In this step, a solid, liquid, or solution sample is changed into gas-phase atoms and ions. Once the sample is in the gas phase, each method uses light or energy in a different way to study the atoms.

In atomic absorption spectroscopy, gas-phase atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation with the exact energy needed to move electrons to higher levels. For example, the 3s electron of sodium can be promoted to the 3p, 4p, or 5p orbital by light of 285 nm, 330 nm, or 590 nm. The detector measures the drop in transmitted light at selected wavelengths and shows it as an absorbance or transmittance spectrum.

In atomic emission spectroscopy, ground-state gas-phase atoms are excited by heat or electrical discharge energy. These excited atoms quickly return to the ground state and release photons that match the energy gap. The emitted light is detected and converted to an electrical signal that gives a fingerprint of the sample. For sodium, transitions from the 3p, 4p, and 5p orbitals back to 3s produce emissions around 590 nm, 330 nm, and 285 nm.

Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy also starts with ground-state gas-phase atoms. They are irradiated with a characteristic wavelength and moved to an excited state. If radiationless transition does not occur, the atoms return to the ground state by fluorescing at the same wavelength they absorbed. The detector is usually placed at a right angle to the source beam so it measures mostly the fluorescence signal.

Atomic spectra are different from molecular spectra because they have sharp lines. Molecules have rotational and vibrational energy states that can broaden peaks, but atoms do not show that same type of broadening. That is why atomic spectra often appear as narrow, distinct signals.

How Heat Changes Atomic Spectra

Heat changes atomic spectra by affecting atomization, excitation, ionization, and line shape. In atomic spectroscopy, atomization means converting a sample into gas-phase atoms and ions. The flame temperature needed for this step changes how efficiently the method works and shifts the balance between excited and ground-state atoms. At thermal equilibrium, the relative numbers of excited and ground-state atoms can be estimated with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. A small temperature rise...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for Trace Metals

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) measures trace metals by tracking how atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The absorbed light makes atoms move to a higher-energy orbit. In AAS, the key step is atomization, which converts the sample into gas-phase atoms. A flame or a furnace is typically used for this step. Inside the flame, some atoms become thermally excited. Most stay in the ground state, which is the lowest-energy state. These ground-state gas-phase atoms absorb EMR only when...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Key Parts

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry uses a set of key parts to measure light absorbed by atoms. The main components are a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. Each part has a specific job in the instrument. The radiation source is usually a hollow-cathode lamp, or HCL, or an electrodeless-discharge lamp, or EDL. Both produce a narrow emission line at the needed wavelength. Some instruments instead use continuum sources with high-resolution monochromators to narrow...

Choosing Light Sources for AAS Measurements

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) uses a light source that emits a very narrow range of wavelengths. This is needed because the source must match the absorption behavior of the analyte atom. The choice of source also depends on giving a precise, intense emission at the right wavelength for accurate detection. Two common line sources in AAS are hollow-cathode lamps (HCLs) and electrodeless-discharge lamps (EDLs). These lamps are selected based on the element being analyzed and the level of...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Sample Atomization

Atomic absorption spectroscopy uses sample atomization to turn a liquid specimen into free atoms for analysis. The two main approaches are flame atomization and electrothermal atomization. Both methods prepare the sample so its atoms can be measured by the instrument. Flame atomization uses a nebulizer and spray chamber to mix the sample with a fuel-oxidant mixture. This creates a fine aerosol mist that enters the burner. The fuel and oxidant are usually close to a stoichiometric ratio, but a...

atomic absorption spectroscopy: interference

atomic-absorption-spectroscopy-interference

Correcting Errors in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Atomic absorption spectroscopy interference can create systematic error by making the analytical signal or the background look stronger or weaker than it should be. In atomic absorption measurements, these errors are usually grouped as spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference. Spectral interference happens when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, the substance being measured. This overlap can falsely raise or hide the analyte...

AAS Sample Prep and Calibration

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) depends on careful sample preparation and calibration. Samples must be turned into clear solutions before measurement. That often means extra treatment to dissolve materials such as soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common sample prep methods include hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, and fusion with reagents. These steps help make the sample suitable for AAS analysis. Solutions that contain organic...

atomic emission spectroscopy: overview

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy for Element Analysis

Atomic emission spectroscopy is used to identify the elements in a sample by measuring the light they emit. Atoms are first excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from hot sources such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When they fall back to lower energy levels, they give off light at specific wavelengths. Each element produces its own set of lines, so the emission spectrum can show both what is present and how much is there. AES instruments are similar to atomic absorption spectrometers,...

AES Sample Handling and Detection

Atomic emission spectrometry (AES) uses sample handling, atomization, and detection parts to measure emitted light from atoms and ions. The sample must first be changed into a gas-phase form so it can produce a measurable signal. AES uses two main atomizer types. Continuous atomizers, such as flames and plasmas, feed the sample in a steady stream. Discrete atomizers add one sample at a time with syringes or autosamplers. The electrothermal atomizer is the most common discrete type. Many...

Reducing Interference in AES Signals

Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) can produce interfering signals when atoms and molecules in a flame or plasma emit overlapping light. High-temperature atomizers excite many species at once, including oxides, hydroxides, and flame combustion products. These extra emissions can make the analyte signal harder to read. Spectral interference happens when emission lines or bands overlap. One way to reduce it is to improve instrument resolution. Another is to choose a different emission line for...

ICP-AES Torch and Sample Analysis

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy uses a plasma torch to analyze elements in a sample. This method is also called inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, or ICP-OES. It is widely used because the plasma creates a strong environment for elemental analysis. The ICP source, or torch, contains three concentric quartz tubes. Argon gas flows through the tubes. A spark from a Tesla coil starts the ionization of argon and creates a high-temperature plasma. The...

ICP-AES Instrument Types and Detection

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, or ICP-AES, uses an inductively coupled plasma to detect and analyze elements in a sample. The method measures the light given off by atoms, which helps identify and compare different elements. It is a common approach in atomic emission spectroscopy. ICP-AES instruments are built in three main forms: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments. Fourier transform designs are less commonly used, but they are...

Plasma Sources in Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

Atomic emission spectroscopy uses plasma sources to identify elements by their light. The method creates abundant spectra with characteristic emission lines. Inductively coupled plasma, or ICP, is especially useful because it gives strong quantitative data. It works well under stable conditions, with low noise, low background, and few interferences. Newer air-operated microwave sources are also being studied. These sources may be more cost-effective than conventional ICP systems. Atomic...

atomic fluorescence spectroscopy

Measuring Elements by Atomic Fluorescence

Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy measures elements by detecting the light atoms give off after they are excited by electromagnetic radiation. The atoms are first placed in a flame, furnace, or plasma. They absorb energy, become excited, and then release that energy as they return to their original state. The emitted light is called fluorescence. The fluorescence is observed at a right angle to the incoming beam. This setup helps separate the emitted light from the light used to excite the...

flame photometry: overview

Flame Emission Spectrometry Basics

Flame emission spectrometry uses a flame to excite elements in a sample so their light can be measured. It is also called flame photometry. The method can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements. The idea became established in the early 1860s when Kirchhoff and Bunsen showed that specific elements give off characteristic radiation in a flame. The first instrument for this purpose measured sodium in plant ash with a Bunsen flame. A major problem was how to add the...

flame photometry: lab

Flame Photometry and Metal Detection

Flame photometry is a method for detecting metals by measuring the light they emit in a flame. A solution such as potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame. The solvent evaporates first. The remaining salt becomes dehydrated and then dissociates into free gaseous atoms in the ground state. Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame and move to an excited state. When they return to the ground state, they emit photons at characteristic wavelengths. These emissions are very narrow...
