ELEMENTS.DAT
The data file used to define element parameters. This file is normally not edited unless the default oxide cations need to be changed permanently. The file structure consists of 100 lines (one line per element for H to Fm). The lines MUST be in atomic number order!
Each element line contains the element atomic number, lower case symbol, upper case symbol, default x-ray line, default crystal name, atomic weight, default number of oxide cations and default number of oxide oxygens.
The default x-ray lines must be either "ka", "kb", "la", "lb", "ma" or "mb". These are the only allowable x-ray lines for analysis. Because the physical parameters of the beta series lines are not known with great accuracy, their use should be limited in quantitative analysis. In practice this could be of concern when spectral interferences are present. However, Probe for EPMA provides a powerful and completely quantitative spectral interference correction that can correct for interfering lines down to the trace level (Donovan, et al., 1993).
The default crystal names must correspond to a valid entry in the CRYSTALS.DAT file. The number of default oxide cations must be between 1 and 9 and the number of default oxide oxygens must be between 0 and 9.
