[... technique d'analyse de pureté ou de composition de matériaux [expérimentale qui] utilise une décharge luminescente DC, généralement dans de l'argon, pour pulvériser un matériau et analyser les particules arrachées grâce à un spectromètre de masse. Le principe de ce dispositif est que le matériau à analyser, ou substrat, est utilisé comme cathode pour la décharge. 3, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20luminescente
