Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, is intended for the rapid publication of both original
work and reviews in the following fields:
Mass Spectrometry (MS) for inorganic analysis covering Spark Source (SS-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP-MS),
Glow Discharge (GD-MS), and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS).
Laser induced atomic spectroscopy for inorganic analysis,
including non-linear optical laser spectroscopy, covering Laser Enhanced Ionization (LEI), Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF), Resonance
Ionization Spectroscopy (RIS) and Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry (RIMS); Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS); Cavity
Ringdown Spectroscopy (CRDS), Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (LA-ICP-AES) and Laser Ablation
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).
X-ray spectrometry, X-ray Optics and Microanalysis, including X-ray
fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and related techniques, in particular Total-reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (TXRF), and Synchrotron
Radiation-excited Total reflection XRF (SR-TXRF).
Manuscripts dealing with (i) fundamentals, (ii) methodology development,
(iii)instrumentation, and (iv) applications, can be submitted for publication.
The emphasis is on papers having a relationship with "spectrochemical analysis". The main subjects will include theoretical or experimental studies of the physical and chemical
processes connected with the generation of atomic or mass spectra; the determination of atomic data; diagnostics for spectrochemical
sources; the fundamentals, design or performance of complete instrumental systems, components of instruments, or devices used in any
of the above stated fields of spectrometry; qualitative and quantitative analysis in the sense of complete analytical procedures using
a single method or a combination of methods, or parts of complete procedures: sampling, sample preparation, sample introduction, detection,
data acquisition and handling (including calibration and statistical evaluation); analytical performance and analytical figures of merit:
limits of detection and limits of determination, selectivity, precision, accuracy, interferences. Authoritative and comprehensive review
articles, dedicated to a particularly important topic or field of analysis, are published regularly. In addition, shorter, concise reviews
or viewpoints focusing on the current status and future prospects of a field or topic particularly relevant to the development of a new
analytical methodology or to a better understanding of its fundamental underlying principles are welcome. Tutorial reviews, illustrating
in depth fundamental concepts in atomic spectroscopy and analytical atomic spectroscopy, are also published.
Articles describing
an application of a spectroscopic technique to analysis will also be considered. In this case, however, the spectroscopic flavor of the
manuscript should be substantial: mere analytical recipes or papers emphasizing separation and pre-concentration techniques should not
be submitted. Finally, to the editors' discretion, accelerated publication of short papers dealing with new important concepts, instrumental
developments or applications will be considered.
