Amicus Applications
( 3 Articles )
The high efficiency energy dispersive analyser of the AMICUS means that a high sample throughput is easily obtained.
Plasma surface modification and plasma deposition are widely used commercially to tailor surface properties of many different types of materials. The spectral detail presented in this applications note using an AXIS spectrometer with excellent charge neutralisation in combination with a high energy resolution monochromatic x-ray source provides useful characterisation of the surface chemistry.
The application of multivariate statistical analysis to a spectra-from-images dataset generated using parallel imaging.
Monochromatic Ag x-ray Source
( 2 Articles )
High energy silver (AgLα) X-rays have several advantages over those produced by the more commonly employed aluminum (AlKα) source. This applications note describes the implementation of a monochromated dual Al / Ag x-ray source.
The power of all surface analysis techniques derives from a capability to gather information on the chemical, electronic or physical properties of the outermost layers of a solid.
