X-ray fluorescence (XRF) offers element-selective information that can be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various sample types. In this article, we explore how XRF spectroscopy ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

Elemental mapping is an imaging technique used to visualize the spatial distribution of elements within a material. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is a widely used analytical technique for this ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

This article presents the results of a comparative study of finding the best detector to identify SS316 in non-aluminum metals and alloys. The results demonstrate that both PIN detectors and SDD ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a manufacturer of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF), has announced Niton Data Transfer (NDT) Software Release 6.4 for its handheld Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 Series ...

Warrior nomads in Mongolia called the Xiongnu had a taste for the finer things in life, particularly gold jewelry, which they wore to their graves. Archeologists have wondered whether the gold objects ...
