We present our initial experimental results from the LIBS studies of pyrazole, 1-nitropyrazole, 3-nitropyrazole, 3,4- dinitropyrazole and 1-methyl- 3,4,5 trinitro pyrazole recorded with femtosecond pulses and performed in argon atmosphere. CN molecular bands in three different spectral regions of 357 nm-360 nm, 384 nm-389 nm and 414 nm -423 nm, C2 swan bands near 460 nm-475 nm, 510 nm– 520 nm and 550 nm-565 nm were observed. The C peak at 247.82 nm, H peak at 656.2 nm have also been observed along with several peaks of O and N. CN/C2, CN/C, C2/C and C2/N ratios were measured from the average of 25 spectra obtained in argon. The effect of number of nitro groups on the atomic and molecular emission has been evaluated. A gate delay of 100 ns and a gate width of 800 ns were used for collecting the spectra.
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is an attractive and versatile spectroscopic technique employed successfully for the detection of hazardous substances. The specific advantages of using femtosecond (fs) pulses with LIBS technique include lower ablation threshold, reduced background Continuum emission. In addition to atomic peaks in plasma the molecular peaks (CN and C2) also play a significant role in classification of these samples. In the present work fs LIBS spectra were recorded from five different samples (RDX, HMX, NTO, ANTA, and DADNE) made in the form of pure pellets. Correlation statistics were used to discriminate the samples based on molecular, atomic ratios. This paper discusses, in detail, a simple correlation technique applied for the fs LIBS data for achieving classification.
