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...
متن کاملAbsolute structure determination: pushing the limits.
It was the Softenon disaster (see Wikipedia) that made the pharmaceutical industry fully aware of the importance of knowing the enantiomeric purity and chirality of drugs and their metabolites. This disaster involved the chiral drug Thalidomide (Fig. 1) that was sold in the 1950s as a racemate under various brand names such as Contergan and Softenon. It was shown in the early 1960s that only th...
متن کاملEnergy dispersive x-ray analysis in the study of pneumoconiosis.
Identification of inorganic substances in the lung is an important step towards the establishment of a cause and effect relationship in the study of pneumoconiosis. The conventional methods for this identification usually require an ashing which makes it difficult to study the localisation of these substances in relation to pathology. A method is described to identify foreign substances in the ...
متن کاملEnergy-dispersive x-ray microscopy to trace gadolinium in tissues.
An electron microscopic technique, energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis, was applied to rat tissue specimens containing gadolinium diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA). EDX spectroscopy was able to detect the characteristic radiation spectra of gadolinium from tissues in concentrations as low as 0.005 mmol per gram of tissue. A mapping algorithm allowed the detected spectra to be assign...
