X-ray spectral microanalysis of sintered samples from electroerosive cobalt-chromium powders

Semi-quantitative X-ray microanalysis of bronchoalveolar lavage samples from silica-exposed and nonexposed subjects.

To evaluate the possibility of quantifying alveolar dust burden in conditions of exposure to silica, four groups of subjects were submitted to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL): 10 healthy control subjects and 39 patients affected by diffuse interstitial lung disease (DILD) never exposed to dust, 23 silicotic patients and 12 chronic bronchitis patients with a history of occupational exposure to sili...

X-Ray microanalysis of stratified specimens

This paper presents a description of the state of the art methodology and software for the application of x-ray microanalysis to thin surface layers and more generally to the characterization of stratified specimens. The sensitivity of the technique to near-surface segregation is demonstrated. Some emphasis is given on the eS(pz) function (the distribution in depth of the primary generated x-ra...

X-ray microanalysis attachment for electron microscope.

Fundamental Constants for Quantitative X-ray Microanalysis.

Quantitative X-ray microanalysis requires the use of many fundamental constants related to the interaction of the electron beam with the sample. The current state of our knowledge of such constants in the particular areas of electron stopping power, X-ray ionization cross-sections, X-ray fluorescence yield, and the electron backscattering yield, is examined. It is found that, in every case, the...

Effect of Chromium Content on Formation of (Mo1-x-Crx) Si2 Nanocomposite Powders via Mechanical Alloying

(Mo1-x-Crx)Si2 composite powders were successfully synthesized by ball milling of Mo, Cr and Si elemental powders. Effects of the Cr content, milling time and annealing temperature were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the milled and annealed powders. The morphological and microstructural evolutions were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmissio...
