Analysis of gadolinium oxide using microwave-enhanced fiber-coupled micro-laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Abstract We report on the analysis of pure gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) and its detection when mixed in surrogate nuclear debris using microwave-enhanced fiber-coupled micro-laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (MWE-FC-MLIBS). The target application is remote analysis of nuclear debris containing uraniu...
