Flow-assisted corrosion, also termed flow-accelerated corrosion or FAC, has long been a common problem for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants in which steel piping and its components are degraded ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) offers element-selective information that can be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various sample types. In this article, we explore how XRF spectroscopy ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...

X-ray spectroscopy measurements that previously needed to be done at a synchrotron facility could become available to a broader audience thanks to a new tabletop system (Anal. Chem. 2022, DOI: 10.1021 ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is based on the same principle as all photoelectron spectroscopy methods. If a molecule or material is irradiated with light of a known energy above the ionization ...

XES is an element-specific method primarily used to analyze the partially occupied electronic structure of materials. The technique is one of the photon-in-photon-out spectroscopies in which an ...

GE Aerospace will soon introduce new X-ray technology intended to help technicians better identify anomalies in metallic parts and allow airlines to keep some components in service longer. The company ...

Using X-ray spectrometry, archaeologists have found a way to distinguish iron from different time periods in America's colonial past, which may result in long-anticipated discoveries. Iron artifacts ...
