Abstract
Relative sensitivity factors ( RSFs ) in the analysis of glow discharge mass spectrometry were determined for Cu, Al and Ti-based metals. Pin-shaped and disk-shaped samples for the respective matrices were prepared from the same blocks. A systematic deviation has been recognized between the values of RSFs for pin-shaped samples and disk-shaped samples in all the matrices. The manner of the deviation is quite similar to that in Fe and Ni-based metals as has already been reported and the deviation in each matrix is expressed by a linear relation. RSFs for disk-shaped samples are obtainable from those for pin-shaped samples by the linear relation and vice versa.
