The computer program NRLXRF has been applied to the determination of minor and trace constituents in aluminum alloys and several National Bureau of Standards certified standard reference materials. Limitations arising from energy dispersive x-ray analysis and the fundamental-parameter method used by NRLXRF are illustrated.

The use of a fundamental parameter method for effecting matrix corrections in quantitative x-ray spectrochemical analysis is described. A versatile computer program calculates composition directly from measured intensities. Variations in the basic approach are employed in the analysis of a series of sulfide and oxide samples. The Applied Research Laboratories multi-channel x-ray quantometer (MXQ) is briefly described.

The fundamental parameter method for x-ray spectrometry has been used most commonly for bulk samples, because it permits an analysis utilizing a minimum number of standards, even for samples with complicated matrices. The need for the analysis of thin film materials, which includes multi-layer films, has been increasing in recent years along with the rapid progress of high technologies. However, there have been few reports that deal with the application of fundamental parameter methods to multi-layer thin films. There may be two situations in the analysis of thin films. In routine analysis of quality control applications, they usually require precise analysis. Fortunately, it is possible to prepare well characterized standards similar to the unknowns.
