Since each atom has a unique energy pattern with its electrons having distinct quantum numbers, resulting characteristic x-rays are also unique with specific frequency and act as fingerprints of elements in the XRF analysis. The intensity of characteristic x-rays depends on the overvoltage, U, which is the ratio of the incident beam energy, [E. Measurements of the characteristic X-rays emitted by electrons shifting from high-energy, outer shells to low-energy, inner shells allow researchers to track the process. |
