SALOMAN Electron and Optical Physics Division, Na$;$;tit;te,oi Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, 3 . . . (Received 26 Janwry 1993; accepted 5 Februury 1993) Abstract-A data service has been established at the National institute of Standards and Technology to
provide the necessary information to apply the techniques of resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) and resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) to routine use in analytical chemistry. This service collects and calculates the relevant atomic data, chooses appropriate resonance ionization schemes, and indicates pertinent operating details of successful RIMS studies. The first group of data sheets was published pre~o~ly covering the elements As, B, Cd, C, Ge, Au, Fe, Pb, Si and Zn. Tbe second group published covered the elements Al, Ca, Cs, Cr, Co, Cu, Kr, Mg, Hg and Ni. The third group published covered the elements Sb, Bi, P, Na and Sn. The fourth group of data sheets is presented here. It covers the elements Be, In, Li, K, Rb, Ag, Ti and V. It also provides an update of the previously published data sheet for Ni. Reprints of RWRIMS work are solicited so that those efforts may be included in future data sheets.
1. INTROBU~HON THE TECHNIQUES of
resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) and resonance ionization spectroscopy followed by mass spectrometry (RIMS) have been demonstrated in several state-of-the-art laser laboratories to be analytical techniques of extremely high sensitivity and selectivity that are applicable, in principle, to nearly all atoms El]_Thus RIS and RIMS can form the basis for ultrasensitive eiemental analysis applicable to problems in non-destructive testing, monitoring environmental pollutants, performing trace impurity analysis, measuring radioactive contamination, and many other areas. To meet their potential, these techniques have to be made available to analytical chemists and other scientists who do not have the most comprehensive knowledge of atomic structure and laser physics. The task is made more difficult for these scientists because much of the information needed to apply RWRIMS exists in scattered data bases. Many key data are not currently available at all (especially excited state photoionization cross sections). The chemists require the RIS schemes and atomic data that, will allow the techniques to be applied without sophisticated calculations and a major literature search in advance for each element to be measured. It is the objective of this data service to organize the available info~ation, supplement it with calculations (where gaps exist), and provide formatted data and application sheets to permit the routine use of RISRIMS in elemental analysis. The tirst group of data sheets published [2] covered the elements As, B, Cd, C, Ge, Au, Fe, Pb, Si and Zn. The second group of data sheets published [3] covered the elements Al, Ca, Cs, Cr, Co, Cu, Kr, Mg, Hg and Ni. The third group of data sheets published [4] covered the elements Sb, Bi, P, Na and Sn. The fourth group of data sheets is included here. It covers the elements Be, In, Li, K, Rb, Ag, Ti and V. It also provides some updated information of the previously published data sheet for Ni. Other data sheets will be published periodically. These sheets list the element, its stable isotopes, isotope shifts and hypefine structure, RIS schemes, atomic energy 1139

levels, lifetimes, oscillator strengths, laser-excitation schemes, atom sources, estimates of laser power requirements, and references. Also included are the results of calculations of excited state photoionization cross sections by Hartree-Fock techniques involving several atomic configurations. Reprints, preprints, and other forms of information about successful RIS/RIMS work are solicited for inclusion in future new data sheets and in updates of the sheets presented here.
2. EXPLANATION OF DATA SHEETS The data sheets begin with the name, symbol, and atomic number, Z, of the element. Then the ground state atomic configuration is specified, followed by the energy of the first ionization energy with respect to the ground state. A conversion factor [5] of 1 eV = 8065.5410(24) cm-’ is used. Next comes an introductory paragraph, which includes RIS schemes that have been experimentally observed and additional schemes when needed for this element. Schemes that involve either one- or twophoton excitations may be cited. Two-photon excitation schemes need relatively high laser powers for saturation and often require a mass-selective detection system to avoid interferences from unwanted non-resonant or near-resonant ionization of concomitant species in the sample. A number of two-photon excitation schemes are included where the most obvious one-photon resonance transition wavelength is very difficult to generate with present day commercial teclmology or where a single-color scheme may be employed instead of a two- or three-color scheme for convenience and/or economy. The presence of intermediate levels, which may enhance particular two-photon schemes, is noted. Two-photon schemes are valuable when high-resolution Doppler-free techniques are required for additional isotopic selectivity [6]. Information about the sensitivity of demonstrated schemes is provided when that information is available. Other pertinent information and possible applications are included. A Grotrian diagram is included, illustrating the energy levels and transitions used in the RIS schemes. Standard atomic notation is used. In some cases so many levels are utilized in RIS schemes that groups of levels must be shown schematically. In these cases their energy is indicated as a range rather than providing the individual energies of each level. Next, we include information specific to each type of RIS scheme covered by the data sheet. The laser wavelengths in air are listed for the transitions in the RIS scheme (except for wavelengths less than 200 nm for which vacuum wavelengths are given), as well as the energies and abbreviated spectroscopic notation for the states involved. “Low. Level” stands for the lower level of a transition, El is its energy, “Res. Level” stands for the upper or resonance level of a transition, E, is its energy, A is the air wavelength (or vacuum wavelength if A c 200 nm) of the transition, and fabs is its absorption oscillator strength. Then we provide some parameters important to the energetics of the RIS process. Wherever possible, existing atomic data are used. However, in many cases these parameters must be calculated. These calculations are made using the Hartree-Fock codes of COWAN [7] with approximate relativistic corrections. In most cases the calculations involve several configurations for each state. For some elements the Hartree-Fock calculation produces relative configuration energies that disagree with the known level energies. In these cases the relative configuration energies are adjusted to the spectroscopic data before calculating the atomic data. The data sheet will note when this procedure is used. Lifetimes, 7, of the excited states involved in the schemes are given. Also provided, when a single photon transition is involved, is an estimate of the power required to saturate the first step of the RIS process. This estimate is for an idealized situation where all power is delivered within the spectral range of the absorption line for free, thermal atoms. It is obtained using the formalism of LETOKHOVet al. [8] where the cross section of the absorption is given by:

(1)
where A is the wavelength of the transition, Ati is the Einstein transition coeflicient between the initial state and the resonant state (calculated with the Hartree-Fock code if necessary), and ho is the transition linewidth. For purposes of this estimate, in the case of solid samples, this linewidth is taken to be the Doppler width for a free atom at the boiling point. The saturation power is given by: P=& where h is Planck’s constant, c is the speed of light, and T is the excited level’s relaxation time (which is taken to be the excited state lifetime for this estimate). This estimate must be adjusted by the user to fit the actual experimental parameters used (e.g. pressure effects). For discrete transitions other than the first step, the cross section is estimated with Eqn (1) while for photoionization, in most cases, the cross section is calculated with Cowan’s code. Then an estimate of the laser energy needed to saturate the transition or the photoionization is obtained by using the condition No 2 1, where N is the number of photons in the laser pulse per unit area within the absorption bandwidth delivered within the lifetime of the excited state that absorbs the photon. This leads to a saturation energy (in mJ/cm2): E,, = l/(5.03 X 10-b ax) if u is in units of lo-l8 cm2 and A is in nm. Actual bandwidth (for discrete transitions) and laser pulse length must be considered as well as geometric factors to obtain a value of the required laser energy for a specific experimental arrangement. Also to be noted is that in the calculation of the photoionization cross sections, no account is taken of continuum resonances that may be present unless specifically stated. If present, these resonances can greatly increase the photoionization cross section, thereby reducing the required laser energy. We estimate an uncertainty of a factor of two or three in the calculation of the photoionization cross sections even in the absence of resonances. We follow this with some data on the isotopes of the element. For the stable isotopes, we list the isotope, the natural abundance (in parentheses), and the nuclear spin, I. For some radioactive isotopes of interest, we list the isotope, its nuclear spin, and its lifetime, 7. Where known for the transitions used in the RIS schemes, we provide the isotope shift and the hyperfine structure (hfs) interaction constants A (dipole interaction constant) and B (quadrupole interaction constant). The hfs splitting, E, may be calculated from the center of gravity of the level of the isotope by [9]: E=AC/2+

There is no hfs for an isotope if Z = 0. The quadrupole term is non zero only if Z 2 1. No state will show hfs splitting if .Z = 0 and the quadrupole term of the hfs will not be observable unless .Z 2 1.

The laser scheme section suggests possible means of generating the laser wavelengths required by the RIS schemes. In most cases where an experimental scheme is known, the laser used is cited. For proposed schemes, Nd:YAG is often proposed as the pump laser because of the availability of its harmonics for photoionization from excited states. Pumping with other lasers or flashlamps may often be equivalent to the given source (but note that the pump affects the wavelength range over which a given dye will operate). High repetition rate pump sources or cw lasers can improve sample utilization efficiency when used with continuous atomization sources. The atom source section suggests how a sample may be atomized for measurement. RIS and atomic data references are given. Information about any errors in this or the previous data sheets is solicited for inclusion with future data sheet sets.

RIS has been applied to the analysis of beryllium by a few groups. Two types of RIS schemes have been demonstrated and another type has been proposed for greater sensitivity and selectivity. CLARK et al. [A], WEN et al. [B], and FASSE~Tet al. [C] utilized schemes in which the Be atoms were excited from their ground state by a two-photon transition to one of the 2nd lD2 or 2sns IS0 levels, which was then photoionized by a third photon of the same color (a so-called 20~ + o1 process). These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process and are amenable to Doppler-free techniques but suffer from the relative inefficiency of two-photon transitions and the lower selectivity of a high-laser-power single resonance process. A variation on this scheme was used by TRAVISet al. [D]. In it a two-photon transition from the ground state to the 2&s ‘S, was utilized and this excited state was photoionized by radiation from an infrared laser (a so-called 20, + o2 process). This scheme may also be used with Doppler-free techniques but has the disadvantages mentioned for the previous schemes. DOWNEY et al. [E, F] applied a scheme in which the Be atoms were excited from their ground state to the zF2p ‘fi resonant level by the first photon and then photoionized by a second photon of the same color (a so-called o1 + o1 process). They studied the depth profile of Be impurities in AlGaAs, GaAs, Al and Si with a detection limit of 1 ppm using analog detection. This scheme also has the simplicity of a single-color process but also suffers from the loss of selectivity due to having only a single resonance while requiring sufficient power to photoionize the resonant level. Therefore, two three-color schemes are proposed. Both have first steps that excite the atom from its ground state to the zS2p 1R resonant level. Then the scheme suggested by LETOKHOV[G] uses a second laser to excite the atom from this level to the 2F3d lD2 level, which may then be photoionized by a third laser. The other scheme uses the second laser to excite the atom from the 2F2p le level to the 2r4d lD2 level, which may be photoionized by IR from a Nd:YAG laser. These are so-called o1 + o2 + o3 processes. Analysis of trace quantities of Be is important since Be is a toxic material used in many applications. The isotope loBe may be used as a tracer of processes on a short geological time scale, such as monitoring the recent history of solar activity [HI. However, one must be aware of isotopic fractionation effects between Be isotopes [I] in such measurements. A Grotrian diagram,of the RIS schemes in beryllium is shown in Fig. 1 [2].

A number of groups have applied RIS to the analysis of indium. Most applied schemes [B-N] show the In atoms being excited from one of the two levels of the ground state configuration by the first photon to a resonant level. The resonant level was then photoionized by either a second photon of the same color as the first (a socalled o1 + o1 process) or by a photon of another color (a so-called w1 + w2 process). The w1 + o1 process has the simplicity of a single-color process requiring only one laser, but has the reduced selectivity of a single resonance step in which the laser power must be sufficient to drive the relatively less efficient photoionization step. The o1 + o2 process allows for separate optimization of excitation and photoionization steps. In some schemes [C, E, F, H, M] this process is achieved using a single laser. The excitation step is driven by frequency doubled radiation while non-doubled radiation is used to drive the photoionization step. In other schemes of this type, the photoionization step is carried out using pump laser radiation [I, J, L]. PAPASet al. [H] using an w1 + o2 process and ion sputter atomization (SIRIS) measured the dopant concentration of In on a Si surface with a reported detection limit of 9 parts per trillion (pptr). CHEKALINer al. [I] using an wl + o2 process and flame atomization report detecting In in Sn at levels of 0.1-l ppb. ARLINGHAUSet al. [L] using another scheme of type w1 + w2 and SIRIS atomization, report carrying out a depth profile of SiOzInP samples and report a detection limit of 0.3 ppb for In in Si. A second type of RIS scheme was applied by BETEROVef al. [J, 0] and ZILLIACUSef al. [PI. In these schemes the In atoms are excited from one of the two levels of the ground state configuration to the 6s 2Sln resonant level from which they are excited to a high Rydberg level that can be ionized with very high efficiency by an electric field (a socalled o1 + U$ process). Due to the energy of the atomic levels, if the In atoms start in the upper level of the ground state configuration and an appropriate electric field Stark shifts the levels, then for the 31p 2p0 Rydberg levels, wl = o2 [O]. This type of scheme is highly selective owing to its two resonance steps and quite efficient due to the electric field ionization. With such a scheme, a detection limit of 0.01 ppb has been reported for In in Ge [O]. Yet another type of scheme was applied by MIRZA and DULEY [Q] and by D~NSZELMANNand NEIJZEN [A]. In these schemes the In atoms are excited from one of their ground state configuration levels directly to a high Rydberg level by means of a two-photon transition. The Rydberg level is then ionized with high efficiency by an electric field (a so-called 20$ process). With the proper choice of levels (5p 2P$,2 +-i 31p “P”) the two-photon transition can be resonantly enhanced by the presence of the 6s 2S1,2 level almost half-way between the two levels [A]. These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process while being amenable to Doppler free techniques. A number of studies using the SIRIS technique have been applied to study the presence of In in Si [B, R, S] and report linearity of the In RIS signal for In concentrations of 8 ppb to 7.8 ppm and detection limits of 0.14 ppb. Calculations of oscillator strengths and photoionization cross sections for this data sheet are made using the Hartree-Fock code with relativistic corrections of COWAN [2] with empirical adjustment of the calculated Hartree-Fock energy of the 5s5p2 configuration to fit the observed spectrum [3] of In.

Data sheet for .RIS/RIMS schemes Lithium Li Ground State [l] First Ionization Energy [2]
43487.150 cm-l
z=3 W2.r 2&,2 = 5.391721 eV
RIS has been applied to the analysis of lithium by many groups. Four types of RIS schemes have been demonstrated. In the simplest schemes, the lithium atoms are excited by the first photon from their ground state to one of the 2 2P or 3 2P resonant levels, which is then photoionized by another photon of the same color, as demonstrated by FASSETTet al. [A], or another color, as demonstrated by KARLOV et al. [B], ARISAWA et al. [C] and proposed by KRAMERet al. [D] (so-called o1 + o1 or or + o2 processes). The single-color scheme has the simplicity of a single-color process. All have the lower selectivity of a single resonance step but the two-color schemes allow for separate optimization of resonance and ionization steps. HERGENR~DERand NIEMAX[E] demonstrated a second type of scheme in which the lithium atoms were excited from their ground state to a 2 2P resonant level by the first photon. Then this level was excited to the 3 2S level by the second photon and that level was excited to an it 2P (n 2 15) level by the third photon. This high Rydberg level was subsequently ionized by an electric field (a so-called o1 + o2 + OF process). One of these schemes will be covered in this data sheet. These schemes have the high selectivity of three resonant steps combined with the high efficiency of electric field ionization. However, it is experimentally complex, requiring three tuned lasers and an electric field. KRAMER et al. [D] demonstrated a third type of scheme that is capable of single-atom detection. In their scheme the lithium atoms were excited from their ground state to a 2 2P resonant level, which was then excited to a 3 2D level by a second photon. This level was then photoionized by a third photon of the same color as one of the first two photons (so-called w1 + o2 + w1 or w1 + w2 + w2 processes). A related scheme was used by HERGENR~DERand NIEMAX[El. They excited the lithium atoms from their ground state to a 2 2P resonant level with the first photon. This level was then excited to the 3 2S level by a second photon and this level was then photoionized by a third photon of another color (a so-called w1 + w2 + w3 process). Another scheme of this type is suggested by laser enhanced ionization work [F]. The lithium atoms are again excited from their ground state to a 2 2P resonant level by the first photon, then excited to a 4 2D level by the second photon, from which they can be photoionized by IR from a Nd:YAG pump laser. This type of scheme can be quite sensitive and has the selectivity of two resonance steps. A fourth type of scheme was demonstrated by LORENZENand NIEMAX[G] in a thermionic diode and by BLAZEWICZet al. [HI. In these schemes the lithium atoms are excited by a two-photon transition from their ground state to a level of the same parity as the ground state and this state is photoionized by a third photon from the same laser (a so-called 2wr + w1 process). The two-photon resonant levels used were the 4 2S, 3 2D, and 4 2D levels. These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process but have reduced selectivity owing to the single resonance requiring relatively high laser power. They are amenable to Doppler-free techniques for isotopically selective excitation. RIS has been applied in Li to the study of the photodissociation cross section of LiI [I], the reaction of Li with O2 in the presence of noble gasses [J], the fluctuations in atomic and molecular systems [K], to the measurement of the diffusion coefficient of Li in argon [L], and to materials analysis [Ml.

RIS has been applied to the analysis of potassium by many groups. Three types of RIS schemes have been demonstrated and another was proposed for greater sensitivity and selectivity. BEEKMANet al. [A], CAPELLEef al. [B], and HARRISONet al. [C] used schemes in which the K atoms were excited from their ground state by the first photon to one of the 5 2p0 resonant levels, which was then photoionized by a second photon from the same laser (a so-called w1 + wi process). These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process but have the lower selectivity of a single resonance scheme in which the laser power must be sufficient to drive the photoionization step. CALCO~T et al. [D] used a variant of this scheme by exciting the resonant level as above but then photoionizing with the UV output from a XeCl laser (a so-called w1 + w2 process). In this case, the laser power driving the resonant and photoionization steps can be separately optimized. NIEMAX and PENDRILL [E, F, G], working with a thermionic diode, used schemes in which the K atoms were excited from their ground state by a two-photon transition to an n 2S or it 2O level and then photoionized by a third photon of the same color (a so-called 20, + w1 process). These schemes also have the simplicity of a single-color process and are amenable to Doppler-free techniques but have the disadvantages of the relative inefficiency of the two-photon transition and the lower selectivity of a single resonance process using high laser powers. KUDRYAVTSEV ef al. [H, I] carried out isotopically selective ionization of accelerated K atoms using a scheme in which the K atoms were excited from their ground state by the first photon to the 4 2p;/2 resonant level, which was then excited to one of the 21 2O levels by a second photon. This high-lying Rydberg level was then ionized with great efficiency by an electric field (a so-called w1 + wp process). This is a very efficient process with the selectivity of two resonant steps. LETOKHOV [J] proposed a scheme in which the atom would be excited from its ground state to the 4 2p3/2 level by the first photon. This level would be excited to the 6 2S1,2 level by the second photon and then photoionized by a third photon say from a Nd:YAG laser (a so-called w1 + w2 + w3 process). However a calculation [2] indicates that the photoionization cross section from the 6 2S, level is rather small, so this proposed scheme would be inefficient. As an alternative, a scheme of this type is proposed in which the K atom is excited from its ground state to one of the 4 2p0 resonant levels by the first photon. A second photon excites the atom from this level to one of the 4 ‘0 levels from which it is photoionized by an IR photon from a Nd:YAG laser. This scheme has the selectivity of two resonant steps and should be relatively efficient. Analysis of trace quantities of K is important in determining the purity of semiconductor materials and in determining the presence of the small fraction of naturally occurring slightly radioactive isotope “OK. A Grotrian diagram of the RIS schemes in potassium is shown in Fig. 4 [l]. RZS schemes of type (wl + wl) or (wl + w2) [A-D]

Ground State [l] First Ionization Energy [2] RIS schemes applicable
to the analysis of rubidium have been studied by many types of RIS schemes have been demonstrated. In the simplest type of scheme the rubidium atoms are excited by the first photon from their ground state to one of the IZ2P” (n = 5-7) resonant levels, which is then photoionized by either another photon of the same color (n 2 6) or a photon of another color (socalled o1 + or or wi + o2 processes). Schemes of this type have been demonstrated by AMBARTZUMIANef al. [A-C], KLYUCHAREVand SEPMAN[D], CAPELLEet al. [E] and TOWRIEet al. [F]. The single-color schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process that requires only one laser. All have the lower selectivity of a process with only one resonance step but the two-color schemes allow for separate optimization of resonance and ionization steps. For situations where more selectivity is required, some schemes involving two resonant steps are suggested. Here the Rb atoms are excited from their ground state to a 5 2P” level by the first photon and this level is then excited to one of the 6 2D or 7 2D levels by the second photon. That level is then photoionized by a photon with the color of one of the first two photons or by an IR photon from the pump laser (so-called w1 + w2 + o i or o1 + o2 + o2 or o1 + o2 + w3 processes). Schemes of this type have been reported recently by SHAW et al. [G]. Another type of scheme was demonstrated by SMYTHet al. [HI. In these schemes, the Rb atoms are excited from their ground state by a two-photon transition to an IZ2S or n 2D resonant level, which is then photoionized by a third photon of either the same color as those used in the two-photon transition or of a second color (so-called 2wr + o1 or 20~ + o2 processes). The 20~ + or schemes have the simplicity of single-color processes but both types of schemes have reduced selectivity due to having a single resonance step that requires relatively high powers to drive the two-photon transition. Several other schemes that involve excitation to high Rydberg levels with subsequent collisional or electric field ionization [H-M] will not be covered here, nor will an elegant scheme

RIS has been applied to the analysis of silver by one group. HAVRILLAetal.[A, B] used a scheme in which the silver atoms were excited from their ground state to the 5p =P’& resonant level by the first photon. The atoms were then excited from this level to the 5d =Dsn level by a second photon and then photoionized by a third photon of the same color as the second photon (a so-called o1 + 02 + o2 process). This scheme has the selectivity of two resonance steps although the power of the second step must be sufficient to drive the photoionization. This limitation can be removed by using the second harmonic of the Nd:YAG pump laser radiation for the photoionization step (a so-called o1 + w2 + o3 process). References [A] and [B] used both resonance and non-resonance photoionization to study the depth profile of Ag in solid samples. Several other possible RIS schemes of the type o1 + 02 + o3 will be suggested. In addition, schemes are considered in which the atom is excited from its ground state to one of the 5p =P” levels by the first photon, then excited from this level to the 8s 2&n level by a second photon. The 8s =??I/2is then excited by a third photon to the 485~5~ =P& autoionizing level (a so-called w1 + o2 + WY process). This scheme has two narrow, highly selective resonance steps and a third relatively broad step (about 42 nm FWIIM) to the autoionizing level that calculations [3] indicate should be a rather efficient ionization mechanism. Also suggested is a scheme in which the silver atoms are excited from their ground state to an lld =D level by a twophoton transition and then photoionized by an IR photon from a Nd:YAG pump laser (a so-called 20~ + o2 process). The two-photon transition may be enhanced by the 5p =P” levels that are approximately half-way between the ground state and the

lld 2D levels. This scheme should be amenable to Doppler-free techniques but it has the selectivity limitations of only a single resonance step, which requires relatively high laser power. Calculations indicate that the one-color, single resonance processes involving the 6p 2P levels are relatively inefficient especially for the 206-207 nm wavelengths required. Ultrasensitive detection of Ag may be useful in locating commercial deposits of silver and in monitoring waste streams for the loss of this material.

z = 22 ls22s22p63s23p63d=4s2 3F2 55072.5 cm-’ = 6.82812 eV
Several groups have applied RIS to the analysis of titanium. Three different types of RIS schemes have been used. Using one type of scheme and thermal atomization, MOOREet al. [B] studied many RIS lines, and MAYOet al. [C] used a subset of these lines, optimized to avoid interferences with vanadium RIS lines. GOBERTet al. [ID, E], GIBERT [F], and GELIN et nl. [G] used ion sputter atomization (SIRIS) and two of the schemes studied in Ref. [B]. In this type of scheme, the Ti atoms are excited from a thermally populated level of the ground state configuration to one of the w 3F”, z ‘PO, or v 31;b odd parity resonant levels by the first photon. The resonant level is then photoionized by a second photon of the same color (a so-called w1 + o1 process). These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process requiring only one laser but have the lower selectivity of a single resonance step in which the laser power must be sufficient to also drive the photoionization step. The use of other resonance levels with this type of scheme has been reported recently [HI. With this type of scheme, detection limits of 10 ppb were reported [E, G] for the analysis of Ti in steel. A second type of scheme is a modification of the first, which uses separate lasers of different colors for the excitation and the photoionization steps allowing separate optimization of the intensities of each step. The Ti atoms are excited from a level of the ground state configuration to a resonance level by the first photon and then photoionized from the resonant level by a second photon from a pump laser or one of its harmonics (a so-called o1 + o2 process). Schemes of this type were applied by PELLIN et al. [I] using SIRIS who reported the ability to measure 30 ppb Ti impurity in the surface atomic layer of silicon wafers. Schemes of this type using the z 3Do resonant levels were studied by MARUYAMAet al. [J] as laser isotope separation schemes. A third type of scheme was demonstrated by YOUNGet al. [K] and SPIEGEL et al. [L]. In their schemes, Ti atoms are excited from their ground state to the t 3B resonant level by the first photon. This level is then excited to either the e 3F2 or the g 3F2 level by the second photon. The atoms are then efficiently ionized by exciting them from these levels to an autoionizing level (a so-called w1 + o2 + wf’ process). These authors have investigated a number of such schemes and the two most efficient ones will be covered here. This type of scheme has the enhanced selectivity of two discrete resonance steps plus a broader autoionizing step. Using the most suitable scheme (via the e 3F2), Ref. [L] reports determining the relative isotopic abundance of Ti in a hibonite-rich inclusion in a meteorite while removing only 4 x lOlo atoms of Ti or 8 X 1012 total atoms from the sample. They also report observing isotopic fractionation effects of as much as 48% favoring the odd isotopes over the even. This problem was dealt with by using material of known isotopic composition as a standard. Other types of scheme are possible. Some, studied by SOHL et al. [A], involve two-step excitation of either autoionizing or high Rydberg levels (which can then be efficiently ionized with an electric field). These will not be covered here. PARKSet al. [M] applied SIRIS to determine the concentration of Ti in lithium niobate crystals as a function of depth, finding values between 0.18 and 35%. However the RIS schemes used were not reported. Calculations of lifetimes and photoionization cross sections for this data sheet are made using the Hartree-Fock code with relativistic corrections of COWAN [3] with empirical adjustment of the calculated Hartree-Fock energies to fit the observed spectrum of Ti [l]. A Grotrian diagram of the RIS schemes in titanium is shown in Fig. 7 [l, 2, A, L].

Data sheet for RIWRIMS schemes Vanadium V Ground State [l] First Ionization Energy [2]
Z = 23 ls22s22p63s23p63d34s2 4F3,2 54413 cm-l = 6.7463 eV
A number of groups have applied RIS to the analysis of vanadium. Two different types of RIS schemes have been used. FASSEIT et al. [A], MOORE et al. [B] and MAYO et al. [C] used schemes in which the vanadium atom is excited from either the ground state or a thermally populated level of the a 4F ground state configuration or a thermally populated level of the a 6D low-lying configuration to an odd parity level by a photon in the 283-300 nm range. The odd parity level is then photoionized by a second photon of the same color (a so-called o1 + o1 process). These schemes have the simplicity of a single-color process but have the lower selectivity of a single resonance scheme in which the laser power must be sufficient to drive the photoionization step. With this type of scheme, multielement analysis was demonstrated [B] and a measurement of V impurities in SIMOX utilizing isotope dilution and RIMS was carried out with an equipment sensitivity in the pg/g range [Cl. The use of the isotope dilution technique avoids the need for standards to determine possible isotope fractionation effects. A second type of scheme was reported by THONNARD et aE. [D, E], but no information was provided about the wavelengths or atomic levels used. In this scheme, the atom is excited from a thermally populated low-lying level to the first resonant level. The atom is then excited from this resonant level to a second resonant level, which is subsequently photoionized by IR radiation from a Nd:YAG pump laser (a so-called w1 + o2 + o3 process). This type of scheme has the greater selectivity of two resonant steps for which the laser intensity can be individually optimized, good sensitivity for properly chosen transitions, and the easy availability of IR photons for photoionization with reduced likelihood they will produce significant non-resonant multiphoton ionization. Calculations have been carried out to identify several possible schemes of this type. THONNARD et al. [D] and PARKS et al. [F] utilizing the sputter initiated RIS technique (SIRIS) demonstrated good linearity for the RIS signal as a function of vanadium concentration over a range of 105 down to a concentration of 6 ppm with samples utilizing a variety of matrices. The determination of small concentrations of V and V isotopes may be important for determining impurities in semiconductor materials [C] and in tracing the metabolism of vanadium in biological systems [G] (where RIMS can avoid isobaric interferences with Cr and Ti). Calculations of transition probabilities and photoionization cross sections are made using the Hartree-Fock code with relativistic corrections of COWAN [3] with empirical adjustments of the calculated Hartree-Fock energies to fit the observed spectrum of V [l]. A Grotrian diagram of the RIS schemes in vanadium is shown in Fig. 8 [l, 21. RZS schemes of type (to1 + q) [A-C] One-color two-photon process consisting of a resonance step followed by photoionization with a photon of the same color as the initial step. A1 = 283-300 nm.

Atom reservoirs and sources Atoms of vanadium have been prepared for RIS studies by several methods: evaporation of the oxide from a Re tllament with Hz reduction [A] (this method produces a relatively large VO ion signal, which was a large background on the V RIS signal); evaporation of V from a Re filament coated with a carbon film [B, C] (this method produced a clean RIS signal); and argon ion sputtering of a solid surface (SIRIS) [F]. L aser ablation should also be a viable method of atomization. RIS references J. 6. Fassett, J. C. Travis, L. J. Moore and F. E. Lytle, Anal. Chem. 55, 765 (1983). L. J. Moore, J. D. Fassett and J.

Update for RIS/RIMS data sheet for nickel Ni Z = 28 GOBERT et al. [A] report a measurement of the photoionization cross section of the y 3D8 level of Ni in which a value of 7 X lo- l* cm* was obtained for 300.2482 nm radiation. This value agreed with the value of 8 x 10-l* cm* calculated by them using the quantum defect method. This value disagrees with the calculation made for the RIS/RIMS data sheet for Ni [B], in which the unadjusted results of the Hartree-Fock code [C] were utilized. This calculation produced only very limited configuration mixing for the y 3D; and other nearby odd parity levels. The result reported in Ref. [A] suggests that for this case the mixing is greater. To obtain a more realistic amount of configuration mixing, a se’mi-empirical calculation was carried out in which the difference in the average energies of the 3&’ and 384s configurations was adjusted so that the resulting calculated energies agreed with the spectroscopic data for the 3&‘4p and 3da4s4p levels [D]. The results of this calculation are given in the table that lists for the cited (wr + ol) schemes in the wavelength ranges 282-284 nm and 294-304 nm, the wavelength, X1, the initial level of the scheme, Low. Level, the resonance level, Res. Level, the photoionization cross section calculated for this resonance level in the semi-empirical calculation for an o1 + o1 scheme, u, and an estimate of the energy, E sat7 delivered during the lifetime of the resonant state required to saturate the photoionization.
