Abstract

The coherent and Compton scattered radiation of X-ray tube target line from the sample, instead of characteristic X-rays, has been used for the quantitative analysis in wavelength dispersive X- ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry. The relationships between the coherent to Compton intensity ratio versus the concentration and mean atomic number were determined experimentally. Also, a comparison of the scattered radiation method and fundamental parameters method, with respect to results, was made.
