Abstract:When an X-ray photon which is generated by the sample enters into the detector, pulses can be produced and recorded. The detector is unable to respond to another photon that enters at the same time when a photon is being detected. The time that the detector takes to respond to a photon is regarded as dead time. For the x-ray fluorescence detector, the recorded count is less than the real count impulse due to dead time. Hence, to correct x-ray intensity of samples whose element content is vastly different, dete… Show more
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.
