Extract

The chemistry of heterogeneous materials can be understood only after determining the elements composing the material, the ways in which those elements combine, and the distribution of the resulting phases. The techniques of photon-induced x-ray microfluorescence (XRMF) and x-ray microdiffraction (XRMD) offer several advantages over conventional electron- beam methods for determinations of element and phase distributions. Those advantages include minimal specimen preparation, good element sensitivity, air operation, the capability of wide area coverage, and the availability of sophisticated search/match routines for phase identification.
