Notes:
The background beneath the fluorescence lines of energy dispersive X-ray spectra obtained with a molybdenam secondary target tube-excited system can be obtained from the intensities of the coherently and incoherently scattered radiation. The background intensity at a particular energy is equal to the product of a proportionality factor multiplied by the incoherently scattered radiation intensity, plus another proportionality factor multiplied by the coherently scattered radiation intensity. The proportionality factors are determined from measurements of a number of molybdenum-loaded cellulose filters.The proposed procedure provides accurate results for the analysis of complex X-ray spectra of thin samples of varying composition.
