硬币材料特征峰幅度的探究

利用X射线实验仪测量了不同模式下单元素金属及多元素合金次级X射线K_α特征峰峰值随入射角及出射角的变化.当入射角与出射角相同时,单元素金属的次级X射线特征峰峰值不随角度的改变而改变;当入射角不变时,单元素金属的次级X射线特征峰峰值随出射角的增大而增大,验证了X射线一次荧光激发的理论.对于多元素FeZn合金,当入射角与出射角相同时,Fe的总X射线荧光强度随出射角的增大而增大,Zn的总X射线荧光强度随出射角的增大而减小;当入射角不变时,Fe的总X射线荧光强度随出射角的增大而增大,而Zn的总X射线荧光强度随出射角的增大呈现先增加后减小的趋势,验证了X射线二次荧光激发的理论.     

南海砗磲Sr/Ca比值测试：XRF和ICP-OES方法对比研究

对采自中国南海的5个砗磲(1个现代砗磲、4个化石砗磲)进行了两种高分辨率Sr/Ca比值分析。电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-OES)得到的Sr/Ca比值呈现出年周期变化，且与海表面温度呈现负相关关系，这表明Sr/Ca可作为良好的SST替代性指标。ICP-OES是测试砗磲壳体Sr/Ca常用的方法，但大量的样品需要钻样及预处理，相当耗时。而同步辐射X射线荧光分析(SR-XRF)可以克服这些缺点，它只需要前期的样品制备，并允许固态样品原位无损快速分析，具有高空间分辨率(微米级)、高灵敏度和多元素分析的特点。在本研究中，我们用SR-XRF方法测试砗磲样品化学元素的可行性。据查阅，目前尚未有类似的相关研究文献。本文实验结果显示SR-XRF 数据能够揭示元素含量及其比值变化。且SR-XRF测得的砗磲Sr/Ca比值与ICP-OES分析方法测得的Sr/Ca通过相关统计分析发现其显著性水平p值(5个砗磲样品的p值均<0.05)非常显著，表明高分辨率SR-XRF测得的砗磲Sr/Ca比值在一定程度上代替ICP-OES分析方法的可能性非常大。SR-XRF方法在砗磲重建古气候领域有很大的应用前景。

Focus on sulfur count rates along marine sediment cores acquired by XRF Core Scanner

The aim of this study is to investigate the information provided by sulfur count rates obtained by X‐ray fluorescence core scanner (XRF‐CS) along sedimentary records. The analysis of two marine sediment cores from the Niger Delta margin shows that XRF‐CS sulfur count rates obtained at the surface of split core sections with XRF‐CS correlate with both direct quantitative pyrite concentrations, as inferred from X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) and sulfur determination by wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WD‐XRF) spectrometry, and total dissolved sulfide (TDS) contents in the sediment pore water. These findings demonstrate the potential of XRF‐CS for providing continuous profiles of pyrite distribution along split sections of sediment cores. The potential of XRF‐CS to detect TDS pore water enrichments in marine sediment records, even a long time after sediment recovery, will be further discussed. Copyright © 2016 The Authors.

福州盆地第四纪钻孔XRF连续扫描的元素特征及沉积相指示意义

对福州盆地河口地区一个39 m钻孔岩芯进行X-Ray Fluorescence(XRF)扫描,通过XRF元素连续扫描结果探讨福州盆地海陆交互地层在不同沉积单元中各元素的变化特征及其沉积相指示意义。钻孔岩芯从晚更新世晚期至全新世共经历了5个沉积阶段：湖泊相—河流冲积相—淤泥质滨海潮滩相—河口潮滩相—河流冲积相。XRF扫描结果表明：元素Co, Fe, Ti, Si及其与Rb的比值受到沉积物粒度影响较大,对陆相(河流相)和海相(潮滩相)中粒度特征相近的层位进行了元素均值统计显示,近岸河口湾海相沉积物中的Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co等元素是陆相地层中的3～10倍,Si元素则在陆相层中相对富集。说明除了粒度因素,海-陆沉积环境的变化对元素的富集也起到了重要作用。Ca,Ti,Mn,Fe,Co等元素是较好的海相沉积指示元素,而Si则是较好的陆相沉积指示元素,K,Rb,Sr对陆相沉积具有一定的指示意义。研究结果表明XRF元素连续扫描可以识别沉积物的元素变化细节,并根据元素的强度变化进一步判断沉积相,可以作为沉积相划分的重要辅助手段。该研究为XRF连续扫描方法在海陆交互带的应用提供了实例。     

Comparison of the detection limits in the analysis of some medium atomic number elements measured with a portable XRF and an external proton beam PIXE spectrometer system

A portable X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer system was constructed using an Amptek Mini‐X X‐ray tube and an X‐123 compact spectrometer. The spectrometer is optimised for the best limits of detection. Its analytic properties are tested and compared with an analogous laboratory‐based instrument, an external beam proton‐induced X‐ray emission spectrometry (PIXE) setup. Depending on elements in question the thick target detection limits of this portable XRF device are comparable or even lower than the PIXE setup. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

GE‐MXRF analysis of multilayer films

Polycapillary x‐ray optics (capillary x‐ray lens) is now popular in x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Such an x‐ray lens can collect x‐rays emitted from an x‐ray source in a large solid angle and form a very intense x‐ray microbeam which is very convenient for micro x‐ray fluorescence (MXRF) analysis. In this paper, a new method called grazing exit micro x‐ray fluorescence analysis (GE‐MXRF), which combines an x‐ray lens used to form an intense XRF source was developed and applied in multilayer film analysis. Such a method can give the information of film composition, density, and thickness. Through two‐dimensional scan of the film sample, the information of film uniformity can be acquired; meanwhile, this method is also useful in adjusting experiment condition during the film preparation with metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) source ion implantation.

Improvements of the low‐energy performance of a micro‐focus x‐ray source for XRF analysis with the SEM

X‐ray Fluorescence (XRF) with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a valuable completion of the analytical capabilities of SEMs. Small and compact micro‐focus x‐ray sources are mounted to the microscope chamber, and the x‐ray spectra are monitored with conventional EDS systems. Up to now the x‐ray tubes used for the micro‐focus x‐ray sources are equipped with beryllium windows about 100 µm thick. The poly‐capillary x‐ray lenses have their transmission maximum at photon energies around 10 keV. It drops down in both low‐ and high‐energy ranges. Hence, L‐radiation from an Mo or Rh target will be strongly attenuated, and the excitation of fluorescence in the soft x‐ray range becomes very ineffective. A new micro‐focus x‐ray source was developed. It is characterised by a lower self‐absorption in the tube target, thin beryllium windows and an x‐ray optics having a large distance between its foci and the maximum of transmission at about 5 keV. Thus K line fluorescence of light elements becomes effectively excited by the L‐radiation from Mo or Rh tube targets. The detection limit for sodium oxide in glass was found to be below 1 mass%.

Microfluidic sample preparation for elemental analysis in liquid samples using micro X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry

The integration of microfluidic devices with micro X‐ray fluorescence (micro‐XRF) spectrometry offers a new approach for the direct characterization of liquid materials. A sample presentation method based on use of small volumes (<5 µl) of liquid contained in an XRF‐compatible device has been developed. In this feasibility study, a prototype chip was constructed, and its suitability for XRF analysis of liquids was evaluated, along with that of a commercially produced microfluidic device. Each of the chips had an analytical chamber which contained approximately 1 µl of sample when the device was filled using a pipette. The performance of the chips was assessed using micro‐XRF and high resolution monochromatic wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence, a method that provides highly selective and sensitive detection of actinides. The intended application of the device developed in this study is for measurement of Pu in spent nuclear fuel. Aqueous solutions and a synthetic spent fuel matrix were used to evaluate the devices. Sr, which has its Kα line energy close to the Pu Lα line at 14.2 keV, was utilized as a surrogate for Pu because of reduced handling risks. Between and within chip repeatability were studied, along with linearity of response and accuracy. The limit of detection for Sr determination in the chip is estimated at 5 ng/µl (ppm). This work demonstrates the applicability of microfluidic sample preparation to liquid characterization by XRF, and provides a basis for further development of this approach for elemental analysis within a range of sample types.

Nondestructive elemental depth profiling of Japanese lacquerware ‘Tamamushi‐nuri’ by confocal 3D‐XRF analysis in comparison with micro GE‐XRF

We have applied recently two XRF (micro x‐ray fluorescence) methods [micro‐Grazing Exit XRF (GE‐XRF) and confocal 3D‐XRF] to Japanese lacquerware ‘Tamamushi‐nuri.’ A laboratory grazing‐exit XRF (GE‐XRF) instrument was developed in combination with a micro‐XRF setup. A micro x‐ray beam was produced by a single capillary and a pinhole aperture. Elemental x‐ray images (2D images) obtained at different analyzing depths by micro GE‐XRF have been reported. However, it was difficult to directly obtain depth‐selective x‐ray spectra and 2D images. A 3D XRF instrument using two independent polycapillary x‐ray lenses and two x‐ray sources (Cr and Mo targets) was also applied to the same sample. 2D XRF images of a Japanese lacquerware showed specific distributions of elements at the different depths, indicating that ‘Tamamushi‐nuri’ lacquerware has a layered structure. The merits and disadvantages of both the micro GE‐XRF and confocal micro XRF methods are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

X‐ray absorption and x‐ray fluorescence for the characterization of titanium oxide‐modified HPLC silicas

Titanium oxide grafted on to the surfaces of chromatographic silica was investigated by x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) and x‐ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopy and the latter used before and after the extensive use of this material as a support for reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC). XRF indicated the formation of a complete 2:1 monolayer whereas XAS suggested the presence of more than one titanium oxide structure. These structures show some slight modification after immobilization of PMOS and use in HPLC. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new portable XRF spectrometer with beam stability control

A new portable XRF spectrometer which allows control of the energy and the intensity stability of the emitted x‐ray beam has been designed and built. The control is obtained by measuring the x‐ray fluorescence generated by a double Ag/Ba thin target when crossed by the x‐ray beam during a measurement. The silver and barium fluorescence K lines are detected by an ancillary Si‐PIN detector and analysed by software developed at the LNS/INFN laboratories. The new portable spectrometer, the beam stability control method, the evaluation of the system and some quantitative applications of interest in the cultural heritage field are presented and discussed.

X‐ray spectrometry applied for characterization of bricks of Brazilian historical sites

This paper presents the results of X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of bricks sampled from historical places in Pernambuco, a state in the northeastern region of Brazil. In this study, twenty bricks found in historical sites were analyzed. Two bricks made in the 17th century, presumably used as ballast in ships coming from Holland, five locally manufactured bricks: one from 18th century, three from 19th century, and one from 20th century, and thirteen bricks collected from a recent Archeological investigation of Alto da Sé, in the town of Olinda. Qualitative determination of the chemical elements present in the samples was undertaken using a self‐assembled portable XRF system based on a compact X‐ray tube and a thermoelectrically cooled Si‐PIN photodiode system, both commercially available. X‐ray diffraction analysis was also carried out to assess the crystalline mineral phases present in the bricks. The results showed that quartz (SiO₂) is the major mineral content in all bricks. Although less expressive in the XRD patterns, mineral phases of illite, kaolinite, anorthite, and rutile are also identified. The trace element distribution patterns of the bricks, determined by the XRF technique, is dominated by Fe and, in decreasing order, by K, Ti, Ca, Mn, Zr, Rb, Sr, Cr, and Y with slight differences among them. Analyses of the chemical compositional features of the bricks, evaluated by principal component analysis of the XRF datasets, allowed the samples to be grouped into five clusters with similar chemical composition. These cluster groups were able to identify both age and manufacturing sites. Dutch bricks prepared with different geological clays compositions were defined.
