X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis (XRP) in Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
The European contributions to X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) have shown remarkable fluctuations with regard to time and can be divided into three groups, each of them covering about thirty years.
At the beginning there was the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen in 1895. He received the first Nobel Prize in physics (1901). Barkla (Nobel Prize in physics 1917) gave a description of the interaction of X–rays with matter–scattering (1904) and polarization (1906), absorption (1909) and fluorescence (1911). In 1912 the crucial experiment of Friedrich, Knipping and von Laue brought the confirmation on the nature of X–rays as part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves (Nobel Prize in physics 1914).
