Content Uniformity in Tablets Evaluated by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy

Energy-dispersive X-ray emission spectroscopy using an X-ray free-electron laser in a shot-by-shot mode.

The ultrabright femtosecond X-ray pulses provided by X-ray free-electron lasers open capabilities for studying the structure and dynamics of a wide variety of systems beyond what is possible with synchrotron sources. Recently, this "probe-before-destroy" approach has been demonstrated for atomic structure determination by serial X-ray diffraction of microcrystals. There has been the question wh...

Atomic-scale Chemical Imaging and Quantification of Metallic Alloy Structures by Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy

Determination of atomic-scale crystal structure for nanostructured intermetallic alloys, such as magnetic alloys containing Al, Ni, Co (alnico) and Fe, is crucial for understanding physical properties such as magnetism, but technically challenging due to the small interatomic distances and the similar atomic numbers. By applying energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping to the study of...

Void Detection In Copper Interconnects Using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy

Low-dimensional copper interconnects are prone to void formation which takes place during the Cu-filling of narrow interconnect lines. These voids increase the electrical resistance of the interconnects which in turn results in an increase of the RC delay of the integrated circuit. Therefore, a fast and non-destructive method is needed, which will allow the detection of the voids in copper inte...
