“…The PIXE spectrum was found recently as shown in Fig. 1(a) [12] . We determined the chemical composition of a piece of glass bead fragment (HB-3) unearthed at the same place (Wangshan, Jiangjin, Hubei) by PIXE and EDXRF (see Table 2-2).…”

The earliest Chinese ancient glasses before the West Han Dynasty (200 BC) from different regions are studied. The glass samples were unearthed from Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Xinjiang of China. The chemical composition of these glasses samples is analyzed by proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) method and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). It is shown that the glass chemical compositions belong to barium-lead silicate BaO-PbO-SiO 2 , potash soda lime silicate K 2 O (Na 2 O)-CaO-SiO 2 (K 2 O/Na 2 O>1), soda potash lime silicate Na 2 O (K 2 O)-CaO-SiO 2 (K 2 O/Na 2 O<1) and potash silicate K 2 O-SiO 2 glass systems, respectively. The origins of the earliest Chinese ancient glasses are discussed from the archaeological and historical points of view. These four types of Chinese ancient glasses were all made in Chinese territory using local raw materials. The glass preparation technology was related to the Chinese ancient bronze metallurgy and proto-porcelain glaze technology. The glass technology relationship between the East and the West is analyzed at the same time.

“…In 1980, Fudan University built a PIXE analysis system and applied it to study the 2500-year-old sword of Goujian, providing strong and authentic evidence for the archaeological study of ancient Chinese metallurgy. [2] In 1982, Calicut University used PIXE to study the trace element content in human hair. [3] In 2011, the Atomic Energy Commission in Damascus measured trace elements in sediments of the Orontes River, and this work could provide an effective guide for pollution reduction measures.…”

Laser-driven proton-induced X-ray emission (laser-PIXE) is a nuclear analysis method based on the compact laser ion accelerator. Due to the transient process of ion acceleration, the laser-PIXE signals are usually spurted within nanoseconds and accompanied by strong electromagnetic pulses (EMP), so traditional multi-channel detectors are no longer applicable. In this work, we designed a reflective elliptical crystal spectrometer for the diagnosis of laser-PIXE. The device can detect the energy range of 1-11 keV with a high resolution. A calibration experiment was completed on the electrostatic accelerator of Peking University using samples of Al, Ti, Cu, and ceramic artifacts. The detection efficiency of the elliptical crystal spectrometer was obtained in the order of 10−9.

“…For more than 35 years, an accelerator laboratory has been operated at Fudan University for the study of archaeometry. Since the nationally renowned ion beam analysis of Yue Goujian Sword [ 24 ], we have accumulated a large amount of compositional data about ancient Chinese jade, glass, pottery and ceramics [ 25 ][ 26 ][ 27 ][ 28 ]. In this paper, we investigate the origin and early development of proto-porcelain by analysing samples from three of the earliest Chinese proto-porcelain kiln sites in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, together with samples from three later kiln sites in nearby Deqing, Zhejiang province.…”

In June 2012, the Piaoshan kiln site was excavated in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which hitherto proved to be the earliest known Chinese proto-porcelain kiln. Judging from the decorative patterns of unearthed impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain sherds, the site was determined to date to the late Xia (c. 2070–c. 1600 BC), the first dynasty of China. Here, we report on proton-induced X-ray emission analyses of 118 proto-porcelain and 35 impressed stoneware sherds from Piaoshan and five subsequent kiln sites in the vicinity. Using principal components analysis on the major chemical compositions, we reveal the relationships between impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain samples from the six kiln sites. The sherds from different sites have distinctive chemical profiles. The results indicate that the raw materials were procured locally. We find a developmental tendency for early glazes towards mature calcium-based glaze. It is most likely that woody plant ashes with increased calcia-potash ratios were applied to the formula.
