2 3. Measurement techniques Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) = x-ray spectrometry using energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and wavelength dispersive spectrometer (WDS) Chemical composition of a samples in micrometer length scale Non-destructive Emission of characteristic x-rays Characteristic x-ray are emitted by the following process: a) The interaction of a high energy electrons with an atom result in ejection of an electron from inner atomic shell b) De-excitation (relaxation) takes place, when an electron from an outer shell fills the empty state (T-excitation < 10-8 s). The difference between the two shell energies equals the energy of the characteristic x-ray: hn = E f -E i 2

Therefore, characteristic x- rays can be used for element identification Characteristic x-ray wavelengths obey Moseley s law: l -1/2 = C(Z-s) or equivalently E = D(Z-F) 2 where C,s,D ja F are electron shell specific constants 4
5 Intensity relations of x-ray lines The following common families of lines can be used by the microscopist in peak identification: Kα : Kβ = 10 : 1 Lα : Lβ1 : Lβ2 : Lγ = 10 : 7 : 2 : 1 Mα : Mβ = 10 : 6 Measurement of x-ray spectrum Starting point of electron probe microanalysis is measurement of x-ray spectrum emitted by the sample. In other words, measurement of x-ray intensity as a fuction of either wavelength or energy Historically measurement of wavelength is older and still more precise method Measurement of energy is faster, because the whole spectrum is measured simultaneously 5
6 Measurement principle of WDS Same principle (Bragg's law) than in x-ray diffractometer, but nl=2dsinq Unknownn Known To be measured EDS measurement system Four primary components of the EDS setup are the excitation source (electron beam) the x-ray detector the pulse processor the analyzer 6
7 Operation principle of SDD The detector is a semiconductor device that through the process of ionisation converts an x-ray of a particular energy into an electric charge of proportional size. SDD devices use a field gradient applied by ring electrodes on its back surface to collect the charge liberated by each x-ray detected, at the anode. Anode << cathode ->small capacitance -> high speed High speed -> smaal leakige current-> less need for cooling Peltier-cooling (-25 C) is sufficient Pulse processing Electronics after the detector takes care of pulse collection and transfer to displayed spectrums (intensity histograms) FET Pre-amplifier Pulse processor Multi channel analyzer EDS measures simultaneously the whole spectrum Although electronics of EDS systems is very fast, processing of a pulse takes certain time (4-100 ms). In case of exact energy x-ray photon, measurement process cause ev statistical variation in measurement result. 7
8 Spectral artifacts Sum peaks Sum peaks occur when x-ray photons are detected at nearly same time, and the pulse processing electronics erroneously record the sum of their energies Is accosiated with high counting rates Escape peaks Escape peaks occur when fluorescence radiation is generated at Si atoms of the detector and Si-Ka photons escapes the crystal The result is a peak at 1,74 kev (Si-Ka energy) below the parent peak for a detector made out of silicon Spectral Resolution Requirements Good spectral resolution permits easy isolation, identification, and measurement of peaks If peak separation is bigger than ~2x resolution: Peaks are isolated Peak identification is trivial unless the second element is a trace element Software is needed for quantification If peak separation is less than ~2x resolution: Peaks overlap in display Peak deconvolution is needed Software is needed for quantification In practice, most spectra require software to analyze peaks, even at highest resolution 8
9 Beam-sample-detector geometry Changes in the beamsample-detector geometry effect measurement results If this is not taken into account, systematic errors in intensity measurement arise Therefore, specific analytical working distance is defined for each measurement instrument Geometrical effects 9

11 Collection EDS spectrum Elemental analysis using electron microprobe Qualitative analysis Quantitative analysis Semi-Quantitative analysis 11

14 Identification of x-ray lines Automatic identification of x-ray lines 14
15 Quantitative elemental analysis Quantitative analysis is based on assumption that intensities of characteristic x-ray lines are proportional to consentrations of elements in the sample However, proportionality is not linear Quantification is performed by comparing intensities measured from sample to intensities from known standards. In this way the ratio of the unknown-to-known intensities, after continuum background is subtracted and peak overlaps are counted for, is established : k i = (P-B) i /(P-B) i0 = I i / I io, wherei i ja I i0 are measured net intensities of peaks measured from the sample and the standard, respectively Relative intensities are proportional to mass fractions in following manner: C i /C io = [ZAF] i *k i Z = atomic number correction A = absorption correction F = fluorescencecorrection C i= mass fraction of a element Z, A, F terms are non-linear correctionfactors that depend matrix composition and interactions between element. Several procedures exists for correctioncalculations. Filtering and deconvolution of raw data Quantitative x-ray analysis require peak intensity determination from measured spectrum There are two basic questions that are accosiated with this To obtain true peak intensities, background continuum must be subtracted from the raw data. In filtering, effect of noise has to be considered especially in the case of trace elements Because of limited energy resolution peak overlaps occur. This require peak deconvolution. 15
16 Matrix effects Atomic number effect Atomic number effects backscattering coefficient and the rate of energy loss due to inelastic scattering (stopping power). X-ray absorption effect As an x-ray photon travels through the sample, it may be absorbed. Absorption probability depends on mass absorption coefficient radiation, specimen density and x-ray path length. Mass absorption coefficients dependt on radiation wavelengths and therefore varies from one x-ray line to another X-ray fluorescence effect In heterogenic samples, x-ray photons from atoms with bigger atomic number may generate secondary fluorescense x-ray radiation in atoms with lower atomic number Matrix effects in Cu-Au alloy 16
17 Quantitative results Classification of concentration into categories Major elements: more than 10 wt% Minor elements: 1-10 wt% Trace elements: les than 1 wt% Light elements Z<11 (Na) 17
18 Semi-quantitative elemental analysis Applies theoretically calculated or factory measured standards stored in computer memory. Good for examination of ratios element is sample. Fast to apply Doesn t warn about missing elements Line analysis 18

More information- Why are phase labels required? Because phase changes either absorb or release energy. ... what does this mean?
157 SINCE the enthalpy change does NOT depend on path, this means that we can use standard values for enthalpy to predict the heat change in reactions that we have not tested in a calorimeter. THERMOCHEMICAL
