Notes:
The concept, design, characterization and operation of an apparatus for low-energy x-ray fluorescence are described. This system utilizes commercially available components in a novel arrangement. An Al K x-ray source, an ultra-thin-windowed Si(Li) detector and an ion gun for sputter cleaning were combined to perform analyses for elements with atomic number Z ≥ 6. Pairs of slit collimators placed between the specimen and the x-ray detector defined the area analyzed. The system configuration permitted analyses over areas with a variety of dimensions (0.4-22 mm). Distinction between surface and bulk signals was possible using the sputter-cleaning capability.
