摘要
利用热释电晶体实现了一个X射线激发源,并以此激发源和高能量分辨率的硅漂移探测器构建了一个X射线荧光分析谱仪。首先通过分析计算热释电晶体厚度和靶厚度对产生X射线的影响选定了激发源的设计参数;然后测量了激发源发射的X射线本底,其能量范围在1~27keV,包含有Cu和Ta的特征X射线,最大强度在每秒3 000个计数以上,对本底的测量同时显示出谱仪的探测器部分对Cu的8.05keV特征峰的分辨率达到210eV,具有很高的能量分辨率;最后使用该谱仪测试了Fe,Ti和Cr等三种单质样品和高钛玄武岩样品,测试结果表明该谱仪可以有效的分析出样品的元素成分。由于这种X射线荧光分析谱仪的各组成部分体积都很小,进一步便携化后非常适合于非破坏、现场和快速的元素分析场合。
Pyroelectric X-ray generator is implemented,and an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is accomplished by combining the pyroelectric X-ray generator with a high energy resolution silicon drift detector.Firstly,the parameters of the X-ray generator are decided by analyzing and calculating the influence of the thickness of the pyroelectriccrystal and the thickness of the target on emitted X-ray.Secondly,the emitted X-ray is measured.The energy of emitted X-ray is from 1to 27 keV,containing the characteristic X-ray of Cu and Ta,and the max counting rate is more than 3 000 per second.The measurement also proves that the detector of the spectrometer has a high energy resolution which the FWMH is 210 eV at 8.05 keV.Lastly,samples of Fe,Ti,Cr and high-Ti basalt are analyzed using the spectrometer,and the results are agreed with the elements of the samples.It shows that the spectrometer consisting of a pyroelectric X-ray generator and a silicon drift detector is effective for element analysis.Additionally,because each part of the spectrometer has a small volume,it can be easily modified to a portable one which is suitable for non-destructive,on-site and quick element analysis.
