Abstract
A new type of atomic absorption spectrometry using the Zeeman effect of sample materials is proposed. A magnetic field was applied to the sample vapor in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of light emitted from an atomic spectral source. Absorption of radiation polarized perpendicular and parallel to the magnetic field was observed alternatively. The absorption difference was proportional to the true atomic absorption, and was not interfered with by any other molecular absorption and light scattering, i.e., background absorption. The background absorption could be monitored at exactly the same wavelength as an atomic absorption line. Suitable magnetic field strength was found for each line of the various elements.
