  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007369",
  "term": "Microwave cavity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A resonant metallic cavity that focuses a microwave field onto a discharge tube so that a standing wave sustains a plasma inside it, as in microwave-induced plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The resonant frequency is set by the cavity dimensions and mode, for example the cylindrical TM010 mode of the Beenakker cavity operated near 2.45 GHz.",
