Chemical imaging of metals: Poster Award, 2nd Rank

Stefan Grünberger received the poster award (2nd rank) for the poster entitled "Chemical imaging and analysis of metals by optical emission spectroscopy methods LIBS and LA-SD-OES" that he presented at the 20th conference on "Solid State Analysis / Festkörperanalytik” FKA 2019 (01-03 July 2019, Vienna / Austria). On the poster, he reported on the research and development of laser-based techniques for the chemical imaging of metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum and of various coatings of metals. The LIBS (Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) and LA-SD-OES (Laser ablation-spark discharge-optical emission spectroscopy) techniques are especially interesting as they enable to perform spatially resolved chemical analysis of surfaces in air to obtain “chemical images” of the sample. This research is part of the FFG K project PSSP and is conducted at the JKU Institute of Applied Physics (A.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johannes D. Pedarnig) in co-operation with the industrial project partner voestalpine Stahl GmbH. The consortium leader of the FFG PSSP project is Recendt GmbH, Linz.
