Atomic absorption spectroscopy
a method to determine chemical elements employing the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state.
Absorption line
Anion
an atom or molecule with a negative electrical charge.
Anisotropy
the property of a material being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions.
bimodal
a bimodal distribution is a probability distribution with two peaks.
calibration
cation
