X-ray spectroscopy analysis

Hafnium was discovered in 1923 by Danish chemist Dirk Coster working together with Hungarian physicist Gyorgy K. Hevesy. The electronic structure of hafnium had been predicted by Niels Bohr, and Coster and Hevesy found evidence of a substance whose pattern matched what had been predicted. The element predicted by Bohr was finally identified as being part of the mineral zircon by means of x-ray spectroscopy analysis. Due to its discovery in Copenhagen (whose ancient Latin name was Hafnia), the element was named hafnium. 

Quantitative elemental analysis in electron spectroscopy is similar to that in X-ray spectroscopy. Analysis quantifies the concentrations of chemical elements on a sample surface from the peak intensities of the spectra. In theory, the quantitative relationship between the intensities of electron signals and atomic fractions of elements can be calculated. In practice, for quantification in both XPS and AES, most parameters for calculations are not available. Thus, the following empirical equation is commonly used. 

Spectroscopic methods for the deterrnination of impurities in niobium include the older arc and spark emission procedures (53) along with newer inductively coupled plasma source optical emission methods (54). Some work has been done using inductively coupled mass spectroscopy to determine impurities in niobium (55,56). X-ray fluorescence analysis, a widely used method for niobium analysis, is used for routine work by niobium concentrates producers (57,58). Paying careful attention to matrix effects, precision and accuracy of x-ray fluorescence analyses are at least equal to those of the gravimetric and ion-exchange methods. 

Chain Structure. The chemical composition of poly (vinyhdene chloride) has been confirmed by various techniques, including elemental analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, degradation studies, and in, Raman, and nmr spectroscopy. The polymer chain is made up of vinyhdene chloride units added head-to-tail ... 

Instrumental Quantitative Analysis. Methods such as x-ray spectroscopy, oaes, and naa do not necessarily require pretreatment of samples to soluble forms. Only reUable and verified standards are needed. Other instmmental methods that can be used to determine a wide range of chromium concentrations are atomic absorption spectroscopy (aas), flame photometry, icap-aes, and direct current plasma—atomic emission spectroscopy (dcp-aes). These methods caimot distinguish the oxidation states of chromium, and speciation at trace levels usually requires a previous wet-chemical separation. However, the instmmental methods are preferred over (3)-diphenylcarbazide for trace chromium concentrations, because of the difficulty of oxidizing very small quantities of Cr(III). 

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy has been used for quality control and test analysis in many industries including computers, semiconductors, metals, cement, paper, and polymers. EDS has been used in medicine in the analysis of blood, tis-... 

X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) is a well-established instrumental technique for quantitative analysis of the composition of solids. It is basically a bulk evaluation method, its analytical depth being determined by the penetration depth of the impinging X-ray radiation and the escape depth of the characteristic fluorescence quanta. Sensitivities in the ppma range are obtained, and the analysis of the emitted radiation is mosdy performed using crystal spectrometers, i.e., by wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy. XRF is applied to a wide range of materials, among them metals, alloys, minerals, and ceramics. 

The combined use of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and TEM/STEM is a routine method of analytical electron microscopy enabling both qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of interfaces and interlayers with high lateral resolution. Reso-... 

An X-ray structural analysis has confirmed that ethyl 1//-azepine-1-carboxylate (1) and nitrosobenzene yield the [6 + 2] adduct 1 1 183-254 255 Subsequently, however, a careful analysis of the reaction mixture by HNMR spectroscopy indicated that a [4 1 2] adduct is also formed, albeit in low yield, to which structure 12 was assigned.256...

The most fundamental issues of the structures of heavier group 14 element-centered anionic derivatives R3EM (R = alkyl, aryl, silyl E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb M = alkali or alkaline earth metals) turned out to be the questions of their aggregation states (monomeric, dimeric, or oligomeric), nature of the E-M bond (covalent or ionic), and configuration of the anionic centers E (tetrahedral, pyramidal, or planar). The most important experimental techniques that are widely used to clarify these questions are NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. 

A number of silylated bismethylenephosphoranes (6) have been prepared and characterized by n.m.r. spectroscopy and X-ray structural analysis.6 X-ray analysis reveals that the novel ylide structure (7) is formed in the reaction of tri-(n-butyl)phosphine... 

The structures of compounds 55a,c and 56a,c were established by means of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Due to the different polarity of the C=N and C=P triple bonds, the silicon ring atom in 55a,c is bound to the nitrogen atom, and in 56a,c to the carbon atom of the C=P moiety. The molecular structure of 55a was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (Fig. 16).14 The four-membered SiNAsC framework is slightly puckered (folding angle N—Si—C/Si—C—As 7°), and...
