MinPlot: A mineral formula recalculation and plotting program for electron probe microanalysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract MinPlot is a MATLAB®-based mineral formula recalculation and compositional plotting program for electron microprobe analyses (EPMA). The offers structural assignment 15 different groups: Garnet, pyroxene, olivine, amphibole, feldspar, mica, staurolite, cordierite, chlorite, chloritoid, talc, epidote, titanite, spinel, sulfides. fast easy to use command line requires no prior computer programming knowledge. Percent mass fractions of oxides are loaded from datafiles the user answers simple prompts select type, normalization scheme, options. Recalculated formulas automatically saved as output files plots may be further manually customized by saving. can perform thousands calculations in seconds modular nature makes it add new calculation routines future releases. Combined, these features make powerful useful processing EPMA data.

Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA)
An electron microprobe is an electron microscope designed for the non-destructive x-ray microanalysis and imaging of solid materials. It is essentially a hybrid instrument combining the capabilities of both the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), with the added features of fine-spot focusing (~ 1 micrometer), optical microscope imaging, and precision...

The section on tranquilizers comprises three chapters: (1) Phenothiazine derivatives by P. B. Bradley, (2) Rauwolfia derivatives by J. J. Lewis and (3) Diphenylmethane derivatives by T. R. Sherrod. The first two are, quite justifiably, restricted to detailed accounts of the pharmacology of chlorpromazine and reserpine respectively, which are treated as model compounds representative of their ch...
متن کاملQuantitative Electron Probe Microanalysis
The recognition and understanding of the role of the microstructure in controlling the macroscopic behavior of a material has been a major theme of science and technology throughout the history of NBS/NIST. In materials science, the late 19th century saw the development of the sample preparation procedures we know today as “metallography” and “materialography,” and the emergence of optical micr...

متن کاملElectron Probe Microanalysis of Submicron Alloy Films
EPMA has been applied to electron beam evaporated and r.f. sputtered layers of about 200 tig/cm. This includes analysis of trapped argon and oxygen ranging from 0.2 to 10 wt%. For primary electron energies of 5 to 15 keV depth range of X-ray emission may be predicted with an accuracy of ± 10 nm. Errors of quantitative analysis are discussed for various correction models and should not exceed 3....
