Scatter incoherent

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry consists of the measurement of the incoherent scattering of x-rays (phenomenon 3 above). It is used primarily to determine the elemental composition of a sample. 

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is a technique for measuring the elemental composition of samples. The basis of the technique is the relationship between the wavelength or energy of the emitted incoherently scattered x-ray photons and the atomic number of the element. This relationship estabHshed in 1913 is... 

Inelastic Incoherent Scattering Intensity. For a system executing harmonic dynamics, the transform in Eq. (4) can be performed analytically and the result expanded in a power series over the nonnal modes in the sample. The following expression is obtained [26] ... 

Note that in this approximation the incoherent scattering measures the time-dependent thermally averaged, mean square displacement <(rd(t) — (O))2). 

The prerequisite for an experimental test of a molecular model by quasi-elastic neutron scattering is the calculation of the dynamic structure factors resulting from it. As outlined in Section 2 two different correlation functions may be determined by means of neutron scattering. In the case of coherent scattering, all partial waves emanating from different scattering centers are capable of interference the Fourier transform of the pair-correlation function is measured Eq. (4a). In contrast, incoherent scattering, where the interferences from partial waves of different scatterers are destructive, measures the self-correlation function [Eq. (4b)]. 

Measurements of the self-correlation function with neutrons are normally performed on protonated materials since incoherent scattering is particularly strong there. This is a consequence of the spin-dependent scattering lengths of hydrogen. Due to spin-flip scattering, which leads to a loss of polarization, this... 

As in the case of the Rouse dynamics (see Sect. 3.1.1), the intermediate incoherent scattering law for dominant hydrodynamic interaction (Zimm model) can be... 

TXRF was used to characterize high-viscosity polymer dispersions [83], with special attention being paid to the different drying techniques and their effect on the uniformity of the deposited films. TXRF was also used as a means to classify different polymers on the basis of their incoherently scattered peaks [84], Dispersive XRF has been used to assess the level of aluminum in antacid tablets [85].
