X-ray Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Analysis

ABSTRACT Urartian metalwork is well known for its technological sophistication; however, the classification of copper‐based alloys within this corpus, particularly the distinction between standard tin bronzes and zinc‐bearing alloys, remains poorly constrained. The identification of such alloys is further complicated…

Tungsten-based heavy alloys are promising lead-free candidates for advanced radiation shielding due to their high density and atomic number. In this study, the photon and charged-particle shielding performance of tungsten–nickel–iron (W–Ni–Fe) alloys containing 85–98 wt% tungsten was systematically investigated over a…

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the effective atomic numbers ( ) and electron densities ( ) of various copper compounds using the Rayleigh-to-Compton ( ) scattering ratio method. Measurements were performed using a high-resolution HPGe detector and a 241 radioisotope source emitting 59.54 keV ga…

For the first time, twenty spun polychrome glass figurines (considered as tangible cultural heritage objects) stylistically assigned to workshops of the city of Nevers from the 17th to 19th centuries have been analyzed at the Musée de la Faïence et des Beaux-Arts of Nevers using non-invasive XRF and Raman spectroscopy…

After the 2010s, numerous examples of çeşni fragments—used as test pieces to evaluate color performance and glaze compatibility—were unearthed during the İznik Tile Kilns Excavation (Bursa), while comparable sherds were also recovered from excavations at Tekfur Palace in Istanbul. Considering historical evidence indic…

The blue, white, and black glazed areas of nineteen Nevers earthenware pieces bearing a date or precisely datable between 1589 and 1865 were for the first time analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy at the Musée de la faïence et des Beaux-Arts-'Frédéric Blandin' in the city of Nevers by pXRF in order to categoriz…

Abstract We report new activation-based measurements of the (p, n) reaction cross sections on the isotopes 85 Rb, 87 Rb, and 79 Br using a 15.0 MeV proton beam. RbBr compound targets were irradiated in a stacked-foil geometry, and induced activities were quantified using calibrated HPGe γ -ray spectrometry. Proton ene…

This study aimed to investigate the chemical shifts and full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of the Kα 1,2 and Kβ 1 , 3 X-ray emission lines in selected halogen compounds of elements with atomic numbers ranging from 22 to 29. A Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer was employed for this analysis.…
