Micro X-ray fluorescence in materials characterization
نویسنده
چکیده
Micro X-ray fluorescence ~MXRF! offers the analyst a new approach to materials characterization. The range of applications is expanding rapidly. Single point analysis has been demonstrated for nanoliter volumes with detection limits at the 0.5 ng level. MXRF can be used as an element specific detector for capillary electrophoresis. Elemental imaging applications include analysis of sample corrosion and polymers, use as a combinatorial chemistry screening tool, and integration with molecular spectroscopic imaging methods to provide a more comprehensive characterization. Three-dimensional elemental imaging is a reality with the development of a confocal X-ray fluorescence microscope. Stereoview elemental X-ray imaging can provide unique views of materials that flat two-dimensional images cannot achieve. Spectral imaging offers chemical imaging capability, moving MXRF into a higher level of information content. The future is bright for MXRF as a materials characterization tool. © 2004 International Centre for Diffraction Data. @DOI: 10.1154/1.1752947#

متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of red pearlescent pigments based on muscovite and zirconia-nanoencapsulated hematite
Applications of mica-based pearlescent pigments are related to plastics, cosmetics, automobiles coatings among others, but they seem to be not explored by the ceramic industry. In this work, intensively red and gold colored muscovite pigments covered with layer of nanoparticles containing iron and zirconium oxides were prepared by homogeneous precipitation. The final color was obtained after th...

Monocapillary X-ray optics are a promising technology for producing intense microbeams of X rays.’ When coupled with laboratory X-ray sources, these optics are an enabling technology for the implementation of X-ray-based micro-spectrometer with spatial resolutions ranging from 1 to 25 microns. These instruments use X-ray fluorescence to determine the composition and thickness of materials with ...
متن کاملTotal Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry for Characterization of Nuclear Materials
Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) is a comparatively new technique of material characterization and trace element analysis. It is an advanced variant of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and is based on the principle of total reflection of X-rays when these radiations fall on a flat smooth surface at a grazing angle less than the critical angle of the sample support. The cri...

Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...
