Application of Tunable Monochromatic Synchrotron Radiation to the Quantitative Determination of Trace Elements

摘要

The advantages of using monochromatic polarized synchrotron radiation sources for energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis have been demonstrated in terms of reduced scattering, better selectivity for specific elements, and sensitivity for the analysis of small samples. The importance of the kinematic behavior of matrix scattered radiation on the sensitivity for specific elements has been emphasized. Accurate calibration curves have been developed and the quantitative analysis of standard samples has been demonstrated. (ERA citation 10:000971)
