Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to image the spatial distribution of elemental and molecular species on the surface and in cross-sections of doped human hair using a magnetic sector SIMS instrument operated as an ion microprobe. Analysis of
Only a handful of shape parameters, such as aspect ratio and circularity, are in common use for characterizing individual microscopic particles. The fractal dimension, D, is seeing increased use as an additional shape parameter because particle shapes
The theory and implementation of quantitative gas phase absorption measurements based on cavity-ringdown spectroscopy with pulsed lasers is discussed. The response of ringdown cavities is modeled using an eigenmode description of the electromagnetic field
A review is given of some critical events in the development 14C aerosol science, and the profound influence of 14C accelerator mass spectrometry on its current applications and future prospects. The birth of this discipline occurred shortly after the
Sulfur dioxide, SO 2, is a major air pollutant and a natural trace atmospheric constituent. The major anthropogenic source of SO 2 is the combustion of fossil fuels, although much also arises from scrubbing natural gas and from smelting sulfide ores (1)
This report summarizes the research and services provided by the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology for Fiscal Year 1998. The report includes: a general overview of the laboratory's activities

Standard test data(STD) are simulations of analytical instrument responses that help determine the veracity of computer-based, data analysis procedures that are typically used with instruments. The STD were developed for determining errors in peak
