The fundamental parameter (cm 2 /atom) relating the absorbance and the number of atoms, called “atomic absorptivity” (C.Th.J. Alkemade et al. Metal Vapours in Flames, Pergamon, New York, 1982) and herewith referred to as the “spectroscopic constant” k , can be either theoretically calculated or derived from experimental calibration curves. The comparison between these two values is useful because the theory can be refined and the operating conditions chosen with more confidence. One of the most important parameters needed is the variation of k with temperature, since a good control of the atomizer temperature is not easy due to difficulties in calibrating the sensor. In fact, if k is constant, there is no need to control the temperature, while if its variation is known, one can calculate the error caused by such inaccuracy. In this paper, some experimental and theoretical data for Hg, in the temperature interval 300–2400 K, are discussed. |
