2 > What is XRF? X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry > What can it do? Detect elements heavier than Na (Z=11) with limits of detection of a few parts per million (ppm) and less. Determine the distribution of elements in a sample. Quantify the elemental composition of a sample. Operate under ambient conditions. It is (largely) non-destructive. > What can it not do? Directly investigate the chemical state of an element. Determine isotopic ratios Investigate organic compounds (Exception: Metals in proteins). Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 2
3 > XRF spectrometer Source - Radioactive sources - X-ray tubes - Synchrotron radiation sources Detector - Energy dispersive detectors - Wavelength dispersive detectors Sample - Biological samples - Geological samples - Cultural heritage samples - Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 3
4 > Like any other forms of spectrometric imaging or spectrometry several characteristics are desirable for XRF: High sensitivity Low limits of detection Long linear range (or methods to achieve it in data processing) High lateral resolution Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 4
5 > Lateral resolution Is dependent on the size of the beam employed for scanning and the step size. The size and intensity of a beam are dependent on the optics used (see lecture: Optics for Synchrotron Radiation Experiments by H. Schulte-Schrepping) Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 5

31 > Secondary Fluorescence Is difficult to model by the fundamental parameter approach. (see R.M. Rousseau, J.A. Boivin, The fundamental algorithm: a natural extension of the Sherman equation part I: theory, The Rigaku Journal, 15 (1998) ) A different approach is Monte Carlo simulation in that the interaction of a huge number of photons with the sample is simulated (see T. Schoonjans, V.A. Sole, L. Vincze, M. S. del Rio, K. Appel, C. Ferrero, "A general Monte Carlo simulation of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers - Part 6. Quantification through iterative simulations, Spectrochimica Acta B, 82 (2013) ) Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 31
32 > Limits of detection Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 32
33 > Limits of detection Are determined by the Signal to Background ratio. A peak is considered detectable if its intensity is 3 times that of the standard deviation of the background. A higher sensitivity improves the limits of detection. A better energy resolution improves the limits of detection. A lower background intensity improves the limits of detection. c LOD Nback, i 3 ci ( t ) N signal Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 33
34 > The background results from: Scattered primary radiation Incomplete charge collection in the detector Fluorescence from the sample matrix Blind contributions from the instrument > The background can be corrected for in data processing.

57 > Conclusions XRF is non destructive and provides qualitative and quantitative information on the sample. XRF is a versatile technique applied to a broad range of samples in diverse fields. It is easy to apply, as XRF investigations can be performed under ambient conditions (no need for vacuum). XRF provides complimentary information to other, slower X-ray techniques, such as XANES or XRD. Matthias Alfeld XRF: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry Page 57
