The study is devoted to X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) features of micro- and nanosized powder mixtures of copper and nickel. XRF is a high accuracy method that allows for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. However, the XRF measurement error due to the size of the studied particles is not usually taken into account, which limits the use of the method in some cases, such as analysis of Ni-Cu mixtures and coatings. In this paper, a method for obtaining copper and nickel nanoparticles was investigated, and the XRF of powder compositions was considered in detail. The initial micro- and nanoparticles of copper and nickel were studied in detail using SEM, TEM, XRD, and EDX. Based on experimental data, calibration curves for copper-nickel powder compositions of various sizes were developed. According to the results, it was experimentally established that the calibration curves constructed for nanoscale and microscale powders differ significantly. The presented approach can be expanded for other metals and particle sizes.

AbstractThe application of X-ray fluorescence to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemically modified cotton textile materials is described. The scope and flexibility of the technique have permitted the determination of more than 20 elements with, greatly reduced elapsed time compared with the corresponding spectroscopic or wet methods. Precautions to be observed in preparing standards are discussed. Results of the analysis of typical modifications and their significance in the development of cottons for specific uses are described.

Over the past 30 years, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has become one of the more valuable methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of materials. Today, there are many methods of instrumental analysis available, and among the factors that will be taken into account in the method of selection are: -Accuracy-Range of application-Speed-Sensitivity-ReliabilityNo one technique can provide all of the features that a given analyst requires. XRF does offer good overall performance over the widest range of elements. Speed, accuracy, and versatility are among the features that have made XRF the method of choice for over 15,000 laboratories worldwide.

Applications of soft (Co and Cu X-ray tube) and hard (Ag X-ray tube) radiation in computed tomography experiments on a laboratory X-ray diffractometer are presented. Using low energy (<10 keV) X-ray sources provide the possibility to investigate objects made of light (organic) materials in more detail compared to the high energy application. In case of metal or heavy element containing composites high energy (~20 keV) X-ray sources allow to obtain full 3D information on the samples without destroying them. These measurements allow both qualitative and quantitative analysis of porous materials, samples with oriented components, and solid compounds.

ABSTRACTA method of analysis of disordering in α- and β-SiC polycrystals by numerical modeling, and a simulation of X-ray diffraction profiles are presented. The diffraction patterns of nonperiodic structures were simulated for models of 2000 layer fragments of the structure. Computer generation of the models was based on the Poisson function describing the size distribution of the domains of basic polytypes and faults. The models were quantified by a set of input probability parameters describing relative frequencies of the occurrence of the domains of polytypes and faults. Implementation of a correlation parameter that characterizes coherence of sequential domains of a given polytype assures a good reproducibility of the simulated diffraction profiles obtained for the same set of the model parameters. Based on this method, a quantitative analysis of disordering in polycrystals of SiC annealed in the temperature range 1100–2200 °C was performed.

AbstractQualitative and quantitative analysis of surface species on size-segregated atmospheric particulate collected in Antarctica during the 2010–11 summer was performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This represents the first example of surface characterization of Antarctic aerosols. The size class with particle cut-off diameter of 3 μm was richest in terms of chemical elements. Peculiar findings of the application included detection of Ca (possibly surface-segregated) and surface enrichment of Mg. The determination of nitrate, ammonium and sulphate species on collection filters provides evidence for a possible advantage of XPS over more laborious techniques (e.g. ion chromatography). The presence of these species is in reasonable agreement with other recent reports from Antarctica.
