X-ray counting: EDS and WDS
Spectral resolution determined by electron-hole pair production energy and thermal noise

X-ray counting: EDS and WDS
Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) – new! Low capacitance allows MUCH higher counting rate Reaches optimal resolution at higher temperature (LN2 not required!)

X-ray counting: EDS and WDS
Rise time of steps depends on capacitance of system, limits counting rate. Conventional Si detector is periodically discharged. SDD is continuously discharged (less dead time).

Complexities in X-ray production
Quantitative analysis requires correction for production, absorption, and fluorescence effects Physics-based methods: ZAF, (z) Empirical method: Bence-Albee Correction depends on composition, which is not known a priori, so quantification is an iterative procedure Accurate analysis requires appropriate standards, as we will see when we learn electron probe analysis

EBSD configuration

Diffraction: Bragg Equation
where n is an integer, λ is the wavelength of the electrons, d is the spacing of the diffracting planes, and θ is the angle of incidence of the electrons on the diffracting plane Constructive interference between reflections off successive planes of charge in the lattice requires difference in path length to be an integer multiple of the wavelength.

Aside: X-ray Diffraction
X-ray diffraction is usually done with a plane-wave X-ray source For monochromatic X-radiation and a single crystal, this gives a distribution of points of constructive interference around the sphere. For monochromatic X-radiation and a powdered material, this gives a set of single cones with opening angle 2 around the irradiation vector. For white incident X-ray source and powdered material, energy-dispersive detector at fixed 2 angle sees a set of discrete energy peaks
