A Monte Carlo model is developed to simulate the Xray fluorescence process within a homogeneous multielement mixture. Validation of the model is obtained through comparison of the model's predictions with experimental data for the iron-nickel-chromium system, for which the inter-element effects are severe. The results indicate that the Monte Carlo model is an excellent simulator and may be used in place of a set of standards to determine the influence coefficients for analysis of fluorescence data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
