Introduction to XRF: Theory, Technique, and Applications

|   Event

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique for identifying the elemental composition of solid, powder, and liquid substances. Specific to particular elements, XRF emission lines enable easy identification and differentiation of elements. The technique requires no sample preparation and has the potential to address a wide variety of problems associated with analytical chemistry, material sciences, and forensics. Representative application examples of the use of XRF spectroscopy in industry, art, and forensics will also be shown and discussed.
