Abstract: | ![]() The approximate linear relationship between the logarithm of the sensitivity and the logarithm of the energy of the observed characteristic x-ray emission is used to show the relative retention of elements during fusion with lithium tetraborate to form fused pellets, and the relative recovery of elements by preconcentration methods. Elements with atomic numbers ranging from 20 to 33 were investigated in fused pellets and/or filtered precipitated samples. Linear or nearly linear curves with slopes ranging from near two for infinitely thin samples to near six for infinitely thick samples are predicted if certain conditions of x-ray excitation are met. |
