Fundamentals and Applications of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
This note provides an overview of the principles and applications
of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, a powerful technique for elemental
analysis. Prof. Yalc discusses the physics that underlies LIBS, including the
formation and evolution of laser plasmas, and shows the components of a LIBS
system, including lasers, optics, and detection systems. The note explores
further the use of laser plasma excitation for spectrochemical analysis, which
is applicable to gases, liquids, solids, and particles. A special issue like
double pulse LIBS, resonance-enhanced LIBS, and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF-LIBS)
are also covered. The importance of this note lies in the recent advances and
applications in the areas of materials science as well as environmental
analysis.

This note focuses on the
applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in clinical and
non-clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts: MRS inside the
clinic, such as imaging and analyzing metabolic processes in vivo, which will be
presented in the first part of the book, and applications of MRS outside the
clinic in fields including biochemistry, neuroscience, and pharmacology. As the
note discusses both clinical and research applications, it allows for a very
comprehensive look at how MRS can be used to probe biochemical and metabolic
processes. This note would be an excellent resource for students and
professionals in the medical and scientific communities.
