Abstract

A fundamental parameter algorithm for quantitative XFA with characteristic Kα- and Lα-radiations of the specimens is presented. This allows an application to programmable pocket calculators or a fast evaluation of measured countrates for the unknown composition of the specimen by means of PCs. For the practical utilization we need the incidence angle and the takeoff angle of the x-rays in the instrument, the high voltage V in kV which is supplied to the x-ray tube (E0) and reference measurements on either pure elements or a single reference specimen. The quality of the analytical results depends on the concentration differences of the unknown specimen and the reference specimen.
