Özet

In this study, the effect of X-ray tube emission current of intensities of K X-rays of all elements from KBr samples. The samples from potassium bromide (99.9%) have been prepared by using two different sample preparation techniques; powder on mylar film and pulverization. All elements in these samples have been measured at six different X-ray tube emission current values by using WDXRF spectrometer. A linear relationship was found between intensity and X-ray tube emission current, but according to different samples preparation techniques slopes of these regression curves are different. In the all elements, the intensities of K X-rays from powder sample on mylar film convert into the intensities of K X-rays from the samples with a correction factor. Therefore, the analysis results from powder sample on mylar film are modified.
