Flow-assisted corrosion, also termed flow-accelerated corrosion or FAC, has long been a common problem for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants in which steel piping and its components are degraded ...

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) offers element-selective information that can be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various sample types. In this article, we explore how XRF spectroscopy ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is based on the same principle as all photoelectron spectroscopy methods. If a molecule or material is irradiated with light of a known energy above the ionization ...

In this interview, Michael Hull talks about using portable X-ray fluorescence for detecting and quantifying mercury contamination in the field. What are the health and environmental risks associated ...

X-ray spectroscopy measurements that previously needed to be done at a synchrotron facility could become available to a broader audience thanks to a new tabletop system (Anal. Chem. 2022, DOI: 10.1021 ...

Paul Ryan, vice president and general manager of Bruker’s X-ray Business, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss the movement of x-ray metrology into manufacturing to better control ...

Using X-ray spectrometry, archaeologists have found a way to distinguish iron from different time periods in America's colonial past, which may result in long-anticipated discoveries. Iron artifacts ...

XES is an element-specific method primarily used to analyze the partially occupied electronic structure of materials. The technique is one of the photon-in-photon-out spectroscopies in which an ...
