ABSTRACTS
This master’s project work is based on pieces of literature review Laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS) of Solid target. Specifically, the Al alloy target has been studied. When a
nanosecond ND: YAG laser-focused on this target plasmas is formed. Followed by an ionized
neutral, ions and electrons are emitted. The literature survey made was mainly investigated in the
air at atmospheric pressure. Spectroscopic analysis of plasmas evolution of laser-produced
plasmas has been characterized in terms of their spectra, electron density, and electron
temperature by assuming the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and optically thin plasma
conditions. The electron density and temperature are usually determined from the selected
isolated line stark broadening, and successive ion state intensity ratio of the Boltzmann plot
respectively. The values of these parameters were found to change with the aluminum alloy
matrix of the fingerprint characteristics emission radiation to distinguish between different
aluminum alloy matrices using only one major element (aluminum) without needing to analysis
the rest of elements in the matrix. Moreover, it was found that the values of T

decrease
with increasing the trace element concentrations in the aluminum alloy samples. It has been
observed that the electron density and electron temperature for different value of laser power
density. With an increase in laser irradiance, both electron density and electron temperature
increase at lower irradiance levels and saturate at higher irradiance levels.
