Abstract

Radio-frequency gas discharge excitation was applied to traces of silver plated onto a filament and subsequently evaporated into a stream of helium. Sensitivity of approximately 2x10⁻² ng and a coefficient of variation of about 7% were achieved. The optimization of operating parameters and the effect of copper upon silver emission were also studied.
