Abstract:
The present invention provides a chip for plasma generation, a plasma generator, and a plasma spectrometry method, having high reproducibility of plasma light emission without a requirement of a discharge unit for removing air bubbles. The chip for plasma generation of the present invention includes a channel, the channel has a first region, a narrow portion, and a second region, the narrow portion is in communication with the first region and the second region and has a cross-sectional area smaller than the first region and the second region, and the chip satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) and (2): (1) at least one of the inner walls of the first region and the second region has a groove portion; and (2) the chip includes a cathode fixed on the inner wall of the first region.
