Abstract
Laser ablation offers rapid micro-analysis with high spatial resolution about ~10 nm in depth and ~3 μm lateral. Structured materials can be mapped and depth-profiled for elemental and isotopic composition using LIBS or LA-ICP-MS without a need for sample preparation. Molecular structure of the sample can often be inferred by chemometric processing of the spectra.
