The purpose of this work was to evaluate the instrumental detection limit and sensitivity for determination of elemental composition of 47Ag, 48Cd, and 50Sn elements in the standard liquid solution with highly advanced polychromatic wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (PC‐WDXRF) spectrometer equipped with 45Rh X‐ray tube. To improve the sensitivity and detection limit, the bremsstrahlung coming from 45Rh source were reduced by choosing suitable primary beam filters (Al and Cu). Instrumental measuring parameters as well as study of linear calibration curves of K and L shell spectral lines were evaluated to select the best conditions for 47Ag, 48Cd, and 50Sn quantification. The detection limit of Lα spectral lines were found to be ~3 to 5 times lower than Kα spectral lines which results in high sensitivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
