Abstract

In this work, a fast method for obtaining a quantitative elemental mapping of highly inhomogeneous samples by μ-LIBS maps is proposed. The method, transportable and cheap, allows the analysis of large maps through the use of a Self-Organizing Map clustering method coupled to Calibration-Free LIBS for quantification of cluster prototypes. The method proposed has been verified on heterogeneous materials such historical lime mortars but it can be easily applied to a larger class of inhomogeneous materials for very different applications (modern building materials, biological samples, industrial materials, etc.).
