Monitoring of argon content in materials

It is reported the possibility of monitoring the presence of argon in the surface layer of materials using the fluorescent emission of characteristic K X-rays of argon by irradiation of the surface of the materials with low energy X-rays. The low energy of these characteristic X-rays, 2,97 keV, make...

Description
Summary:It is reported the possibility of monitoring the presence of argon in the surface layer of materials using the fluorescent emission of characteristic K X-rays of argon by irradiation of the surface of the materials with low energy X-rays. The low energy of these characteristic X-rays, 2,97 keV, makes possible to monitor the presence of argon down a depth of some five microns.
