Sputter Initiated Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (SIRIS),               based on the concept of laser-induced resonance ionization of                   sputtered atoms, offers the potential to make in-situ chemical                  and isotopic microanalyses possible with excellent sensitivity to               low concentrations and combined excellent spatial resolution.                   This project is a Phase I award under the Small Business                        Innovation Research Program that will test SIRIS methods for                    analysis of calcium and titanium isotopes in geological samples.                The research plan is to assess interference problems from                       sputtered ions and nonresonant photo-ions and to identify                       analytical procedures for SIRIS analysis of calcium and titanium.               The studies will form a basis for more general development of                   SIRIS microanalytical techniques for geological samples.
