Electron Microprobe Analysis by Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry on the JEOL JXA-733 Superprobe
نویسنده
چکیده
The electron microprobe provides a complete micron-scale quantitative chemical analysis of inorganic solids. The method is nondestructive and utilizes characteristic x-rays excited by an electron beam, incident on a flat surface of the sample. This course will provide an introduction to the theory of x-ray microanalysis by wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometry (WDS and EDS), ZAF matrix correction procedures and different imaging techniques including scanning backscattered electron (BE), scanning secondary electron (SE), scanning x-ray (by WDS or EDS, also known as compositional or elemental maps), and scanning cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging. Lab sessions will involve hands-on use of the JEOL JXA-733 Superprobe.

متن کاملThe Multi-stage Cooling History of Lunar Meteorite Nwa 032 as Recorded by Phenocrystic Olivine and Pyroxene
Introduction – Lunar meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 032 is an unbrecciated mare basalt, discovered in 1999, whose modal mineralogy is characterized by phenocrystic olivine, pyroxene and chromite, with a groundmass containing feldspar, pyroxene, ilmenite, troilite and other trace metals [1]. Shock melt occurs in veins throughout the sample as well. Fagan et al. [1] observed that the major elem...
متن کاملThe Highly Unequilibrated Eh Chondrite, Sahara 97072, May Be a Primitive Breccia
Introduction: Breccias are common among ordinary and enstatite chondrites [1]. Some type-3 ordinary chondrites have been described as primitive breccias because they contain fragments of types-3 to-6 chon-drites, carbonaceous, and impact-melted material [2]. Sahara 97072, one of the most primitive ECs [3], contains fragments of chondrules, shock-melt veins of Fe metal and troilite in eutectoid ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of nanoclay dispersion in resin transfer moulded glass/nanoclay/epoxy composites
A novel approach for characterisation of nanoclay dispersion in polymeric composites using electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) is presented. Dispersion analysis was performed on three sets of centre-gated discs fabricated by resin transfer moulding. The first set was neat epoxy polymer without reinforcement, whereas the second set comprised 17 vol.-% randomly oriented chopped glass fibre prefor...
متن کاملA New EPMA Method For Fast Trace Element Analysis In Simple Matrices
Traditionally Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) has relied upon precise characterization of the continuum intensities adjacent to the emission line of interest using Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) for determination of the background under the peak. Recent improvements including new hardware designs with large area Bragg crystals, new software methods implementing exponential and po...
