Problem of the Account of Matrix Effect in Electron Probe Microanalysis of Rock-Forming Minerals

Four methods of correction and three methods of calculation of absorption coefficients are tested in electron probe microanalysis of rock-forming minerals. Experimental data by Pouchou and Pichoir, Sewell–Love–Scott, and Armstrong are attracted in tests. It is shown that the correction factor can be...

Zusammenfassung:Four methods of correction and three methods of calculation of absorption coefficients are tested in electron probe microanalysis of rock-forming minerals. Experimental data by Pouchou and Pichoir, Sewell–Love–Scott, and Armstrong are attracted in tests. It is shown that the correction factor can be calculated with the error no more than 1 rel. % if a short-wave line (matrix effect is determined mainly by the effect of atomic number) is used as an analytical line or the analytical line belongs to the absorption K -edge of elements present in the sample. In the presence of binary matrix effect, when the analytical line absorbs in the K–L 1 region, the situation is more complex and additional studies are required.
