MEASUREMENT OF THE ENHANCEMENT EFFECT IN DIFFERENT SAMPLE SERIES IN X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS

Abstract

The dependence of the enhancement effect on the element concentration in the sample matrix has been investigated by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis. The values of the enhancement effect factors for La₂O₃–Pr₆O₁₁–Sm₂O₃, La₂O₃–Sb–Eu₂O₃, and La₂O₃–Sm₂O₃–Gd₂O₃ at 59.5 keV incident photon energy have been measured.
