What Does SIBS Stand For?

SIBS stands for Spark Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

SIBS, or Spark Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used for the elemental characterization of materials. It involves the creation of a spark discharge between an electrode and the sample, which generates a plasma that induces the breakdown of the sample's surface. The emitted light from the plasma is then analyzed spectroscopically to identify and quantify the elemental composition of the material. SIBS is valued for its ability to provide rapid and precise elemental analysis in various applications, including materials science, environmental monitoring, and industrial quality control.
