A COMPARISON OF CORRECTION METHODS FOR THE QUANTITAIVE ELECTRON-PROBE MICROANALYSIS OF PLZT CERAMICS

摘要

In everyday practice, quantitative EPMA correction procedures that are "at hand" are commonly used. This is not such a problem when the compositions of samples are considered relative to each other. However, when an accurate composition for a sample is required, the correction procedure can significantly affect the result as shown above for the example of PLZT ceramics, therefore, a careful selection of the proper correction procedure is very important. Adequate standard reference materials can be of great help with this problem.
