Аннотация:Laser microprobe was used for direct introduction of solid samples into a flame. Combination of this technique with laser‐enhanced ionization spectrometry provides highly sensitive method for surface analysis of Al samples. The impurities of Li were measured. The spatial distribution of Li in laser plume was not homogeneous: the dense atomic ‘‘nucleus’’ and the ‘‘tail’’ of Li clusters. The surface resolution was better than 100 microns. This technique allows to perform surface and layer‐by‐layer analysis of solids and thin films
