3
www.ssi.shimadzu.com K L M Atoms & Energy Atoms can absorb and release energy using electrons Atoms absorb energy by promoting an electron to a higher energy orbital Energy Atoms release energy by demoting electrons to a lower energy orbital
4
www.ssi.shimadzu.com What are X-Rays?.......Energy
5
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Two types of X-Rays Continuous X-rays vs. Characteristic X-rays High energy Broad spectrum Energy in Low energy Discrete spectrum Energy out
6
www.ssi.shimadzu.com K L M X-ray Tube (Rh) DETECTER Energy Put into the System (Continuous X-ray) Energy Released from the System (Characteristic X-ray) Two types of X-Rays
7
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Characteristic X-Rays Types of transitions
8
www.ssi.shimadzu.com X-Ray Tube and Spectra How X-Rays are generated
9
www.ssi.shimadzu.com SiLi Detector
10
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Rh creates it own spectra Sensitivity is low in these areas Introducing a filter reduces the Rh background Increases Sensitivity! ! ! EDX-720 includes: Ag, Mo, MoNi, Ti AgMoTi MoNi Filters
11
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Filters (Cont.)
12
www.ssi.shimadzu.com With primary filter Without primary filter Filters (Cont.) X-ray tube consist of characteristic X-ray (Rh) and continuous X-rays. Continuous X-rays are background Filters decrease background
13
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Intensity vs. Matrix Intensity and Density are inversely related Density affects the analyte’s ability to Fluoresce through the matrix
14
www.ssi.shimadzu.com Air, Helium, or Vacuum: Elements in the range of Na – Sc Measurement under Helium or Vacuum Allows analysis of light elements whose x-ray emissions may be absorbed by air, and Increasing sensitivity for light elements Solid - Air, Vacuum, or Helium Liquid - Air, Helium Powder - Air, Helium Measurement Atmosphere
