Abstract

The effect of laser radiation on the surface and volume of natural quartz of the Bural-Sardyk deposit (East Sayan, Buryatia) is studied. The influence of the main parameters of laser radiation with a wavelength of 213 nm (prefix NWR-213) and the properties of the sample on the results of elemental mass spectrometric analysis with inductively coupled plasma are established. The features of laser ablation of various microinclusions in quartz are considered. The main problems arising from the laser evaporation of fluid inclusions in quartzites for the quantitative determination of their chemical composition are indicated.
