The atoms freed from the cathode discharge are cooler and will be in the ground state. They will therefore give very sharp absorption bands. Absorption will be greatest at the centre of the resonance lines emitted by the lamp. The line profile from the lamp thus becomes broader, and eventually will exhibit self absorption, and ultimately self reversal, giving the appearance of two lines close together immediately to either side of the original line. The latter effect is similar to that already discussed in the section on Smith-Hieftje background correction in Chapter 3.
This is best achieved by careful matrix matching. 3i4 The viscosity effect is not as great as simple theory predicts, for two main reasons. As viscosity increases, and aspiration rate decreases, the energy of the nebulization gas is being distributed to less solution per unit time. This results in the production of a finer aerosol, which is transported with greater efficiency, partially offsetting the adverse effect of the increased v i s ~ o s i t y The . 2 This too has a compensatory effect. Aspiration rate is only a small part of the overall transport process in flame spectrometry.
This adjustment may be done manually, or sometimes, in more expensive automated instruments, under microprocessor control via a stepper motor. 8 Detection of the Light Signal The light signal is invariably converted to an electrical signal by a photomultiplier tube. Figure 7 shows how a photomultiplier works. When photons hit the photocathode, electrons are emitted. These are accelerated towards another electrode (the first dynode), which is held at a positive potential relative to the cathode.
