  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012634",
  "term": "Wall atomization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process in atomic absorption spectroscopy where the sample is atomized from the inner surface of a heated tube or cup, typically made of graphite. The analyte is deposited onto the wall, and rapid heating causes its vaporization and atomization into a free atomic cloud. This method is characteristic of electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy.",
