Introduction/ Inspiration: Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) uses a high intensity laser pulsed for ns (nanoseconds) to form a plasma and atomize a local point on a material sample. When the laser is discharged it ablates a very small amount of material, in the range of nanograms to picograms,
