Calculate Secondary Fluorescence Profiles

This section is where the user may calculate matrix or boundary k-ratios based on the selected parameter files and the specified element and x-ray (at the specified takeoff angle and electron energy).

 

The parameter A file is the beam incident material and may or may not contain the element of interest. The parameter B file is the boundary material (it may be the same as the beam incident material for bulk matrix calculations) and may or may not contain the element of interest, though normally except for continuum fluorescent calculations it will. The parameter B Std material is the standard material and the actual composition is not critical for the purposes of these calculation though it must contain the element of interest and generally should contain a high concentration of the element of interest for highest possible precision. This means that one should always specify a pure element standard for most calculations. Note that if the B Std parameter file is NOT a pure element, the program will not be able to calculate a number of interesting parameters.
