    摘要: A method of measuring the transfer function of an X-ray optical component over a wide range of X-ray energies, which includes the steps of: using an X-ray optical component between an X-ray source and a scattering target to obtain a first scatter spectrum; obtaining a second scatter spectrum from the same or a similar target without the X-ray optical component between the X-ray source and the scattering target; and calculating the transfer function by the ratio of the first scatter spectrum to the second scatter spectrum. The method can be used to improve the accuracy of X-ray quantitative methods in an apparatus where an X-ray optical component is used between the X-ray source and the specimen to be investigated by utilizing the method described above.

    摘要: A cone-tipped penetrometer for in situ analysis of soil or sediment by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Rather than using a radioactive source, a miniature x-ray tube is powered by a filament isolation transformer located inside the penetrometer pipe which has an outside diameter of about 2 inches or less. The x-rays pass out through a special x-ray transmissive window, such as a low metal impurity-containing high strength boron carbide, into the soil or sediment below the surface and the resulting x-rays from the metals in the soil or sediment return through the window to a detector. The signal is transmitted back up to the surface where the x-rays are quantitatively analyzed to determine the concentration of metals in the soil. This real-time in situ x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy of soil or sediment samples permits field analysis of hazardous waste sites and other underground soil and underwater sediments.
