原子能够吸收特定波长的辐射,从基态或低能态跃迁到高能态,然后又以荧光辐射的形式将吸收的能量释放出来回到基态或低能态,这就是原子荧光现象。1962年Alkemade首次提出原子荧光可应用于化学分析。Windordner和West等为此作了大量的工作,对原子荧光光谱法的发展作出了重要的贡献。目前,原子荧光光谱法已成为原子光谱领域新痕量元素 Atoms can absorb specific wavelength of radiation, from the ground state or low energy state transition to the high energy state, and then in the form of fluorescence radiation absorbed energy released back to the ground state or low energy state, which is atomic fluorescence phenomenon. 1962 Alkemade first proposed atomic fluorescence can be applied to chemical analysis. Windordner and West have done a lot of work for this, the development of atomic fluorescence spectrometry has made an important contribution. At present, atomic fluorescence spectrometry has become a new trace element in the field of atomic spectroscopy
