X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) is a surface-sensitive quantitative analysis method to accurately determine the elemental composition of solid materials. The technique is the most extended tool for the...
XRF is a non-destructive and quick analytical tool to determine the chemical elements present in the specimen. In particular, it combines low detection limit (particularly in the case of heavy elements) with quick and easy sample preparation.
The thickness of metallic coatings is routinely determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. This provides a basis for assessing the quality of coated materials and therefore influences decisions regarding disposition (acceptability) of coated product as well as control of...
