A simple EDXRF technique to analyse alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 January 2002
Abstract
A simple EDXRF technique to obtain the relative concentrations of different elements present in a sample is described here. Only those elements have been considered whose characteristic X-rays fall within the sensitivity range of the X-ray detector that we used. A small computer program where the fundamental parameters such as photoionisation cross sections, fluorescence yields, Coster-Kronig transition rates, etc. have been used as inputs was written to calculate the relative concentrations of the elements. The technique used here requires only a single run with the sample and does not require any knowledge of the incoming X-ray flux or geometry of the experimental arrangement. Using this method, three alloys have been analysed in our existing EDXRF system.
