  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009885",
  "term": "Radiofrequency glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spectroscopic technique that uses a radiofrequency glow discharge as an atomization and excitation source for optical emission spectrometry. The sample is introduced into a low-pressure plasma, where atoms are excited and emit characteristic light. This method is applied to the elemental analysis of solid samples, particularly for depth profiling and surface analysis.",
