X-ray fluorescence Kα/Kβ ratios for a layered specimen: Comparison of measurements and Monte Carlo calculations with the MCNPX code
چکیده انگلیسی
This paper shows how the Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX) computer code can easily be applied to calculate the Kα/Kβ ratios of elements distributed heterogeneously in an analyzed specimen. Experiments were performed on specimens made of thick substrates covered by one or two mono-elemental layers (Ti, Ni, and Cu) of intermediate thickness. The Kα/Kβ ratios of the elements present in a substrate and in the layers were measured and then compared with the ratios obtained with the MCNPX computer code and with simple analytical calculations. Good correspondence was achieved between the experimental and calculated values. It was demonstrated that the MCNPX code makes it possible to predict the Kα/Kβ ratios for a specimen composed of layers and a substrate. This code can be applied for recognizing sample homogeneity or the depth heterogeneity of a specimen. In addition, the depth distribution of elements can be estimated and then the coating thicknesses in layered samples can also be determined.
