Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (GDOES) is a flexible elemental analysis technique used to efficiently characterize both conductive and non-conductive materials and coatings. It combines high depth-precision and elemental sensitivity with one of the broadest detection ranges among any spectroscopic technique. This versatility, paired with the technique’s hallmark speed-to-data, makes it well suited for a wide range of applications in industries such as photovoltaics, energy storage, manufacturing, and device failure analysis.

In the upcoming webinar, guest speaker Philippe Hunault from HORIBA Scientific will break down the fundamentals of GDOES and showcase examples to demonstrate how engineers and scientists can make the most of their GDOES analysis.

Uncompromising Speed and Precision in Element Analysis

GDOES enables experts to perform rapid, simultaneous analysis of all elements of interest in a sample. Furthermore, while other spectroscopic techniques often struggle to accurately quantify light elements, GDOES can detect and quantify nearly all elements on the periodic table, including Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Chlorine, Lithium, and Hydrogen. This makes the technique particularly appealing for engineers working with batteries, PV coatings, solar cells, electroplating, and other advanced materials and reactive interfaces.

By combining the precision detection capabilities of optical emission spectrometry with a specialized pulsed laser source, GDOES is furthermore optimized for depth profiling elemental concentration in films, multilayer stacks, and specialized coatings. This webinar will examine how these – and more – unique capabilities make GDOES a prime analytical technique for diverse research and development applications.
