Abstract: | In this work, quantitative analysis of x‐ray fluorescence measurements of transmitting samples with complex chemical composition is considered. A method is presented for analytical solution of sample composition including matrix effects, independent of sample thickness and requiring no standards. The method uses fundamental parameters and measured fluorescence signal intensities, and is applicable to transmission geometry measurements for which standard analyses are not applicable. Limitations of the analysis presented here are discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
