Plasma Temperature and Electron Density Determination Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in Earth’s and Mars’s Atmospheres

Plasma Temperature and Electron Density Determination Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in Earth’s and Mars’s Atmospheres

The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the plasma temperatures and electron densities from the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) data collected by NASA’s Martian rover and compare them to samples measured in Earth’s atmosphere. Using the Boltzmann plots, LIBS plasma tempera...
