The X-ray fluorescence spectral qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed for the elemental composition of 4 marks of bullets for pneumatic weapon of home and foreign production, and also for imitators of common clothing materials camouflage fabric and cotton knitwear. It is determined that lead bullets for pneumatic weapons are capable to introduce some elements of their composition, which are inherent in one or another mark of bullets, to the area of damage on certain clothing materials, in particular, camouflage fabric and cotton knitwear. This expands the possibilities of forensic medical examination when dealing with a problem of determining the type and mark of a bullet or of a small group of bullets similar in their elemental composition, due to which the pneumatical shot injuries of examined objects took place.

This article discusses the advantages of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) techniques for the determination of ash in coal. The quality of coal depends on the amount of ash contained in it. On the other hand, ash causes irreversible environmental damage when using coal as a source of energy. Since coal is considered as the most important source of energy, coal quality is directly related to ash, which correlates with its non-combustible minerals and elements. Some elements such as S (sulfur), Ti (titanium), Ca (calcium), Fe (iron) after burning coal can have an adverse impact on the environment. Thus, we have demonstrated in this study how we can determine the ash content consisting of noncombustible minerals in the composition of coal and, thus, assess the quality of coal using X-ray fluorescence research. It also describes how we can determine coal ash samples using the XRF analyzer 123-1 in online, which is one of the most optimal methods in nuclear physics.

The GaAs(001) surface is the most widely used gallium arsenide face in the MBE growth of multilayer electronic device structures. Various reconstructions on this face have been reported. They range from the As-rich (2×4) to the Ga-rich (4×2). The As-rich (2×4) surface is the most important one of these, since MBE growth usually starts and ends with this surface. A multislice formalism of Cowley & Moodie with a recently developed edge patching method has been applied to quantitative analyses of the RHEED patterns from MBE grown GaAs(001)-2×4 surfaces. The analyses are based on the ordering of visually estimated spot intensities of the observed RHEED patterns from the GaAs(001)-2×4 surfaces, which is similar to the approach used in early X-ray structure determinations. The surface structure has been proved to be a dimerized vacant 2×4 reconstruction with one dimer of every four missing, which is consistent with previous STM observations.

AbstractIn this paper a method of determination of Pd in a carbon-palladium film (C-Pd film) deposited on a quartz substrate is presented. This method is based on energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and all experiments were performed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with EDX system. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out for C-Pd films prepared by PVD method in different technological conditions. It was shown that results of the experiments depended on the structural model, film thickness and electron beam energy used for Pd content calculation.This method enabled us to conclude on the homogeneity of palladium distribution in the whole volume of carbonaceous matrix, depending on the parameters of PVD process. Additionally, these studies showed that a different palladium concentration in C-Pd films had a significant impact on their topography and morphology.

The chemical inhomogenities in modern materials such as fibers, phases and inclusions, often have diameters in the region of one micrometer. Using electron microbeam analysis for the determination of the element concentrations one has to know the smallest possible diameter of such regions for a given accuracy of the quantitative analysis.In th is paper the correction procedure for the quantitative electron microbeam analysis is extended to a spacial problem to determine the smallest possible measurements of a cylindrical particle P of high D (depth resolution) and diameter L (lateral resolution) embeded in a matrix M and which has to be analysed quantitative with the accuracy q. The mathematical accounts lead to the following form of the characteristic x-ray intens ity of the element i of a particle P embeded in the matrix M in relation to the intensity of a standard S

Analysis of the constituents of renal and biliary calculi may be of help in the management of patients with calculous disease. Several methods of analysis are available for identifying these constituents. Most common are chemical methods, optical crystallography, x-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. The application of a SEM with x-ray analysis capabilities should be considered as an additional alternative.A scanning electron microscope equipped with an x-ray “mapping” attachment offers an additional dimension in its ability to locate elemental constituents geographically, and thus, provide a clue in determination of possible metabolic etiology in calculus formation. The ability of this method to give an undisturbed view of adjacent layers of elements in their natural state is of advantage in determining the sequence of formation of subsequent layers of chemical constituents.
