Description
Summary:Energy Dispersive Inelastic X-ray Scattering (EDIXS) is a reliable technique for the discrimination and characterization of local chemical environments. By means of this methodology, the speciation of samples has been attained in a variety of samples and experimental conditions, such as total reflection, grazing incidence, and confocal setups. Until now, due to the requirement of a monochromatic and intense exciting beam, this tool had been applied using exclusively synchrotron radiation sources. We present, for the first time, results of test measurements using EDIXS for chemical characterization implemented in a conventional x-ray tube based laboratory. The results show good discrimination between different iron compounds under study, suggesting the real possibility of rutinary chemical state characterizations of samples by means of EDIXS using a conventional x-ray tube.
