The Application of High-Resolution Solid State Detectors to X-Ray Spectrometry - A Review
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
Developments during the past few years in solid-state radiation detectors and low-noise electronics employing field-effect transistors operated at cryogenic temperatures have resulted in the availability of high-resolution energy-dispersive spectrometers for a variety of applications in x-ray spectrometry. Using pulseamplitude analysis techniques, these spectrometers make it possible to obtain multi-elemental analyses on a routine laboratory basis employing x-ray fluorescence techniques. The combination of these spectrometers with small, inexpensive on-line computer data systems makes It possible to obtain rapid on-line qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples in the laboratory and in special field applications. A general review of the present state of development in detectors, electronics and on-line data systems will be presented together with descriptions of applications of such equipment in the laboratory.
