Preferred term

Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • The spectrometric analysis of fluorescent X-RAYS, i.e. X-rays emitted after bombarding matter with high energy particles such as PROTONS; ELECTRONS; or higher energy X-rays. Identification of ELEMENTS by this technique is based on the specific type of X-rays that are emitted which are characteristic of the specific elements in the material being analyzed. The characteristic X-rays are distinguished and/or quantified by either wavelength dispersive or energy dispersive methods. The analysis of the X-rays emitted by matter with energy resolving detectors.
