(1) X <strong>Ray</strong> Fluorescence Spectroscopy<br />

“bulk technique”<br />

sample prep = grind sample to powder, make pressed pellet<br />

Method:<br />

• irradiate sample with high energy X-rays<br />

• some electrons knock out inner shell electrons; outer shell electrons fall <strong>and</strong><br />

emit characteristic wavelength secondary X-rays<br />

• intensity of characteristic spectrum relates to quantity; samples with many<br />

elements will result in many spectral line emissions
