Nernst Glower Rare earth oxides formed into a cylinder (1-2 mm diameter, ~20mm long) Pass current to give: T = 1200 – 2200 K Can operate in air (no need for glass/quartz enclosure) Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis Douglas A. Skoog and James J. Leary, Principles of Instrumental Analysis, Saunders College Publishing, Fort Worth, 1992.
Globar Silicon Carbide Rod (5mm diameter, 50 mm long) Heated electrically to 1300 – 1500 K Positive temperature coefficient of resistance Electrical contact must be water cooled to prevent arcing Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
Tungsten Filament Heated to 2870 K in vacuum or inert gas Useful Range: 350 – 2500nm Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
Tungsten / Halogen Lamp I2 or Br2 added Reacts with gaseous W near the quartz wall to form WI2 W is redeposited on the filament Gives longer lifetimes Allows higher temperatures (~3500 K) and thus higher apparent brightness
Arc Lamps Electrical discharge is sustained through a gas or metal vapor Continuous emission due to rotational/vibrational energy levels and pressure broadening Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
H2 or D2 Arc Lamps D2 + Ee- D2* D’ + D” + hn Energetics: Ee- = ED2* = ED’ + ED” + hn Useful Range: 185 – 400 nm Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
Hg Arc Lamp Continuum + line source High power source Often used in photoluminescence Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
Hollow Cathode Discharge Tube Apply ~300 V across electrodes Ar+ or Ne+ travel toward the cathode If potential is high enough cations will sputter metal off the electrode Metal emits photons at characteristic atomic lines as the metal returns to the ground state Douglas A. Skoog and James J. Leary, Principles of Instrumental Analysis, Saunders College Publishing, Fort Worth, 1992.
Hollow Cathode Discharge Tube Line widths are typically 0.01 – 0.02 Å FWHM Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
Light-Emitting Diodes Operate with 30-60 mW of power - ~80% efficiency Long lifetimes, stable output www.wikipedia.org
