Abstract
Theoretical grounds for a method of the elimination of absorption matrix effects based upon the application of the measurement of the intensity of the coherent scattered and Compton scattered X‐rays are presented in this paper. The presented method has been confirmed experimentally. The described method of the elimination of the absorption matrix effect can be applied, in the case of samples having ‘intermediate’ masses per unit area, by means of analysis by the X‐ray fluorescence method. The total error (standard deviation) of correction for absorption obtained by the proposed method varies from 3–7% for the values of this correction from 2.5–1.3 respectively. The presented method can be used in the trace analysis of biological and environmental materials.Keywords
