1. Principle
Glow discharge spectrometry involves the sputtering of the sample to be analyzed, which is placed in a source operating on the principle of a cathode ray tube.
The energy used for sputtering material atoms is the kinetic energy of electrically charged or non-charged particles (ions, electrons, atoms, etc.). Because it does not involve material volatilization, unlike other excitation sources, sputtering of the sample is compatible with the depth resolution required for surface analysis.

Device example
Features of the Horiba Jobin-Yvon GD-Profiler 2 spectrometer
The device is built around a 47-channel simultaneous polychromator with a 2,400 tr/mm double-order concave holographic grating, 0.5 m focal length and 18 to 25 pm resolution in the 110 to 600 nm spectral range. In the UV, the elements measured are H (and D, deuterium, an isotope of H), O, C, N, Cl, Br, I.
