Improving 'Resonance ionization' article
Hi!

I'll be working on the resonance ionization article in the coming days, and look forward to working with other users to make it valuable and useful for interested readers. To start with, I have compiled a list of sources that I think would be relevant to this article, and would appreciate input or advice from users on those sources. Kindly critique and offer suggestions, so we can make the article great all round.

Thanks!

Outline for and proposed changes to the 'Resonance ionization' article
''Hi everyone,

''Kindly go through my outline and proposed changes for the 'Resonance ionization' article. I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions you might have to make the article better overall. Thanks!''

OUTLINE

Opening: Overview: I plan to start by giving an overview of what resonance ionization is. The introduction section as it stands is detailed and helpful, I do not envisage changing much of this, apart from adding an image more relevant to resonance ionization.

1. History: Under this section, I plan to find more sources to go deeper on how and when resonance ionization was discovered, and by whom.

2. Working principle: This section would essentially describe the mode of operation, requirements, necessary apparatus, and set-up for mass analysis by resonance ionization.

3. Optical excitation and ionization schemes: I plan to explain in detail the various resonance ionization schemes available, especially how most of the elements on the periodic table are resonantly ionized.

4. Added equipment: Here, I plan to discuss the different atomization techniques and mass analyzers that could be combined with resonance ionization mass spectrometers.

5. Sensitivity, precision, and accuracy: I will be discussing the accuracy of the method and various methods to correct any defects in the ionization method.

6. Merits and demerits: Here, I plan to explain the upsides of resonance ionization as well as its applicable demerits.

7. Applications: I plan to build on existing applications and widen the scope to include identifying, characterizing, and quantifying atomic species, and in fields such as forensic analysis, clinical chemistry, environmental science, semiconductor, and nuclear physics.

8. Future directions and potential: Here, I plan to discuss developing methods used by present-day users to apply resonance ionization in novel and custom applications, as well as the emerging trends for the ionization method.

Re-evaluation and suggestions
1)Suggest to add a schematic representation of the main components of RIMS system(refer DOI: 10.1063/1.1144702) OR a simple schematic of instrumentation for RIMS to the “Method” section (can refer diagrams in your reference no.1, reference no.15 ). 2)Useful review of resonance ionization spectroscopy in the book - “Laser and Mass spectrometry by David M. Lubman” (In page 39 :a good explanation for steps of the RIS process, which is also shown using diagrams). In my point of view, short paragraphs with diagrams will be more comprehensive than lengthy paragraphs. 3)Use more secondary sources/references. Achaladk (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
