2 Content Quantitative analysis Relation between intensity and concentration Consequences of this relation The fundamental parameter method Calibration curves Dealing with detection limits Some final remarks 2
3 Quantitative analysis in XRF The NET intensity of the characteristic x-ray lines is proportional to the concentration NET = background corrected and interference free Use mainly Ka or La lines of elements 3
4 Quantitative results major elements (conc. range 100% - 5%) uncertainty of < 1% relative i.e % Cu (0.5 % relative error) minor elements (conc. range 5% - 0.1%) uncertainty of 5% relative trace elements (<0.1%) uncertainty of >5 % Only with homogeneous samples Semi-quantitative results uncertainties between 5 and 30% relative The real situation in many XRF applications Qualitative results presence/absence of elements The reality for the analysis of culturale heritage samples 4
5 The fundamental parameter relation Derivation of the relation between concentration and X-ray measured intensity: the Sherman equation 5
6 3.1 The fundamental parameter relation Derivation of the relation between Concentration and X-ray measured intensity: the Sherman equation Mono-energetic excitation Sample 95% Al, 5% Fe The measured intensity (cps) of the Fe Kα x-rays depend on (1) How many primary x-ray reach the sample at a certain depth d Sample: 95 % Al, 5% Fe (2) How many Fe K-vacancies are produced and how many of them cause the emission of Kα photons (2) (1) x x + dx Θ 2 Θ 1 (3) How many of those Fe Kα photons can leave the sample and get detected Ω 1 Ω 2 I o, E o (3) I i, E Fe Kα 6 Detector X-ray source
7 1) Number of primary x-ray that reach at depth x: Path traveled: d l = x sin 1 Sample: 95 % Al, 5% Fe x + dx x X-ray intensity impinging on depth x: x l Θ 1 I x = I 0 (E 0 ) exp[ µ M (E 0 ) M x/ sin 1 ] ρ M density of the sample (matrix) µ M (E 0 ) mass att. coeff. of the matrix for the primary radiation 7
8 2) Number of Fe Kα photons emitted from dx: Number of Fe vacancies created in the layer dx at depth x Fe (E 0 ) dx sin 1 I x ρ Fe - "density" of Fe, gram Fe per cm 3 [g/cm 3 ] τ Fe (E 0 ) fraction of photons that are absorbed and create vacancies in any shell photo-electric mass absorption coefficient of Fe [cm 2 /g] x Fraction of K shell vacancies: t K,Fe (E 0 )=t Fe (E 0 ) 1 1 J K (J K - K-edge jump ratio of Fe) x Fraction emitted as K photons: ωk (ω K - K-shell fluorescence yield of Fe ) x Fraction emitted as Kα photons: fkα di Fe = f K K 1 1 J K 8 (f Kα - Kα to total K (Kα+Kβ) ratio) Fe (E 0 ) Fe dx sin 1 I x
9 3) Number of Fe Kα that reach the detector Path traveled: l = x sin 2 Sample: 95 % Al, 5% Fe l x d x x + dx Attenuation of Fe Kα x-ray from layer at depth x: Θ 2 exp[ µ M (E Fe K ) M x/ sin 2 ] I i, E Fe Kα µ M (E Fe Kα ) mass att. coeff. of the matrix for Fe Kα Fraction viewed by the detector: 2 4 (E Fe K ) Attenuation in air path, detector windows (detector efficiency) di Fe K = 2 4 (E Fe K ) exp[ µ M (E Fe K ) M x/ sin 2 ]di Fe 9
10 Combination of the 3 terms di Fe K = 2 4 (E Fe K ) exp[ µ M (E Fe K ) M x/ sin 2 ]di Fe 1 dx di Fe = f K K 1 Fe (E 0 ) Fe sin I x = I 0 (E 0 ) exp[ µ x M (E 0 ) M x/ sin 1 ] 1 Define K Fe = f K K 1 J K J K 1 I x fundamental constants G = 2 4 sin 1 geometrie factor M (E Fe K, E 0 ) = µ M(E Fe K ) sin 2 + µ M(E 0 ) sin 1 absorption term detected intensity of Fe Kα from a layer dx at depth x di Fe K dx = G (E Fe K )K Fe Fe Fe (E 0 ) exp[ M (E Fe K, E 0 ) M x]dxi 0 10
11 Intensity from the entire sample: integration over thickness d I Fe K = G (E Fe K )K Fe Fe Fe (E 0 )I 0 x=d x=0 exp[ M M x]dx exp[ M M x] I Fe K = G (E Fe K )K Fe Fe Fe (E 0 )I 0 M M d 1 e ( M M d) I Fe K = G (E Fe K )K Fe Fe Fe (E 0 )I 0 M M but ρfe/ρm = wfe weight fraction of Fe in the sample Relation between intensity of the Kα line and weight fraction of element i for mono-energetic excitation of a sample of thickness d 0 I i = G (E i )K i w i i (E 0 ) 1 e M (E i,e 0 ) M d M (E i, E 0 ) I 0 Or if we consider the sample as infinitely thick I i = G (E i )K i w i i (E 0 ) 11 1 M (E i, E 0 ) I 0
12 Consequences of this relation Define the sensitivity for element i S i = (E i )K i i (E 0 ) sensitivity depends on the photo-electric cross section, thus of the excitation energy (E0) The absorption term is = µ M(E i ) sin 2 + µ M(E 0 ) sin 2 Intensity of element i having a weight fraction wi for a intermediate thick sample I i = I 0 GS i w i 1 exp( d) for a infinity thick sample I i = I 0 GS i w i 1 12
13 Depth of analysis is small and depends on the element analyzed Variation with thickness I(d)/I(inf) Al Fe rd g/cm2 100 µm at density of 1 g/cm 3 13
14 The relation between is not necessary linear and depends on the element and the matrix if the absorption is nearly constant linear calibration lines can be used Fe Intensity Al Conc Wi 14
15 The fundamental parameter method Standardless FP method All elements in the sample give characteristic lines in the spectrum Set of n equation with n+1 unknowns I0G, wi With I Al = I 0 GS Al w Al 1 Al I Fe = I 0 GS Fe w Fe 1 Al = w Al µ Al (E Al )+w Fe µ Fe (E Al ) + w Al µ Al (E 0 )+w Fe µ Fe (E 0 ) sin 2 sin 1 Fe = w Al µ Al (E Fe )+w Fe µ Fe (E Fe ) + w Al µ Al (E 0 )+w Fe µ Fe (E 0 ) sin 2 sin 1 Need one more equation w Al + w Fe = 1 Fe Can be solved iteratively 15

17 Standard FP method use at least one standard to determine I0G No normalisation wi=1, check for correctness possible Problem with FP method concentration of ALL elements must be estimated to do the absorption correction χ Metals often ok for metals Geological material (stone, sediments, pottery...) contains oxygen from stochiometry Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3 (FeO?) Organic material Missing C, O, N 17
18 Calibration curves If the matrix remains more or less constant then the absorption term χ remains also constant I i = I 0 GS i w i 1 or Ii = b1 wi or better Ii = b0 + b1 wi Straight line equation y = b0 + b1 x 18
19 Works for e.g. organic material Concentration range is always limited Standards and unknown must be measured under the same conditions and intensities corrected for measuring time and tube current Calib Curve Br in indolinone y = x I Br Ka / 500s Br ppm 19
20 Calibration using the incoherent scattered radiation As the matrix changes also the amount of Compton scattering changes. Normalising with the intensity of the Compton peak helps I i I Inc = b 0 + b 1 w i Useful for quantitative analysis of geological material 20

23 Thin films Basic equation: I i = I 0 GS i w i 1 exp( d) χρd 1 approximation (Tailor expansion) exp( d) =1+ d I i = I 0 GS i w i d = I 0GS i w i d What is wiρd? Dimension is g/cm 2 areal concentration OK If we know the area If we analyse the same area for standards and unknowns 23
24 How do we determine the sensitivity Si for each element i? I i = I 0 GS i w i d Analysing thin film standards with known areal concentration e.g. MicroMatter standards Fe 45.6 ng/cm 2 Elemental sensitivity Si varies smoothly with Z for a given excitation (allows to interpolate, e.g. fitting a polynomial) 24
25 Dealing with detection limits To decide after the analysis if a compound is really (95%) present After spectrum evaluation: For each element of interest we obtain the net peak data (R) and a reliable estimate of the uncertainty (s)! R ± s IF: report concentration based on R and uncertainty (based on s) report detection limit based on R = 3xs revise your data processing!!! 25
26 Detection limits in XRF: practical And what about blanks??? Instrumental blanks: spurious peaks from fluorescence of excitation chamber lines from x-ray tube Sample blanks: elements present in sample support (filters for the analysis of aerosol particles) elements introduced during sample preparation (fused sample) Need to establish very accurately (n=30): the value of this blank contribution µ bl (to subtract from the measured count rate or concentration) and the standard deviation σ bl (to add to the expression of the detection limit) 26
27 Detection limits in XRF: example Analysis of aerosol material collected on a membrane filter Measurement time 1000s Sensitivity Cnts.s Net peak area Cnts/1000s Instrument blank Cnts/1000s Sample blank Cnts/1000s V Fe Br ± ± ± ± ± 60 27
28 V Fe Br Sensitivity Cnts.s Net peak area Cnts/1000s 110 ± ± ± 37 Instrument blank Cnts/1000s ± 20 - Sample blank Cnts/1000s ± 60 Vanadium: 110 cnts < 3*60 => peak not significant DL = 180/1.31/1000 = V < 0.1 µg Iron: 7440 >> 3*136 => peak significant 7440 >> 3*( ) => signal is from aerosol Fe = ( )/2.98/1000 = µg s = ( )/2.98/1000 = µg Fe = ± µg Bromine: 198 cnts > 3*37 => peak significant 198 cnts < 3* ( ) = 211 => maybe signal from filter DL = 211/8.76/1000 = µg Br < 0.02 µg 28
29 Some final remarks Be careful!!!! We use often intensity ratio s rather than concentrations We often normalise intensities to 100 % Also for real concentrations we have Element Conc. = 100 % Beware of the consequences!!! 29
30 Three random variables X, Y and Z (let s say x-ray intensities of three elements) They have nothing to do with each other. They are uncorrelated 30
31 Normalise with Z i.e. study the ratio s X/Z en Y/Z What do you get? Nonsense!!! spurious correlation 31
32 Or, normalise to the sum S = X + Y + Z i.e. study the ratio s X/S, Y/S en Z/S What do you get? Nonsense!!! Closure 32
