Quantitative WD-XRF calibration for small ceramic samples and their source material Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) calibration is developed for small powdered samples (300mg) with the purpose of analyzing ceramic artifacts that might be available only in limited quantity. This is compared to a conventional calibration using a larger sample mass (2g). The comparison of elemental intensities obtained in both calibrations shows that the decrease in analyzed sample mass results in a linear decrease in measured ...
