Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy in Liquids: Inorganic and Biological Applications

Silicon Nanocluster in Silicon Dioxide: Cathodoluminescence, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis and Infrared Spectroscopy Studies

Rapid identification of inorganic salts using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence.

A simple method for the rapid identification of inorganic salts used as raw materials during food production has been established using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). Intensities of Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn Kalpha peaks have been measured. The treatment and comparison of the respective intensities allowed a rapid identification of inorganic salts. Two different met...

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...

X-ray and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in Liquids in the Analytical S/TEM

As in-situ studies of dynamic processes in gases and liquids in the transmission and scanning transmission electron microscope (TEM/STEM) become routine [1] the need to go beyond imaging to more fully characterize complex microstructures during in-situ experiments becomes paramount. The use of both x-ray energy dispersive (XEDS) and electron loss spectroscopy (EELS) in conventional (vacuum) TEM...
