Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The quantitative content of germanium, arsenic, and selenium in As1–x Se x , Ge1–x Se x , and Ge1–xy As y Se x (As y (Ge1–z Se z )1–y ) glassy alloys has been determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis with fluorescence excitation by bremsstrahlung X-rays and an electron beam. The use of these techniques has made it possible to determine the quantitative composition of the glasses (x, y, and z) with an accuracy of ±0.0002 in a surface layer 0.1 mm (under X-ray excitation) to 0.1 μm (under electron beam excitation) in thickness.
