Polarization for Background Reduction in EDXRF The Technique That Would Not Work.

[摘要] As with all electromagnet radiation, polarization of x-rays is a general phenomenon. Such polarization has been known since the classic experiments of Barkla in 1906. The general implementation of polarization to x-ray analysis had to await the fixed geometry of energy dispersive systems. The means of optimizing these systems is shown in this review paper. Improved detection limits are the result.
