PIXE analysis of Middle European 18th and 19th century glass seals

Abstract

andÁrpád Z. Kiss a Particle-induced X-ray emission method was applied for the determination of light and heavy elemental composition of archaeological glass seals. Quantitative information on the major, minor and trace elements and their correlations in respect of the raw materials which were used for the glass manufacturing are discussed. Although the differences of the elemental concentrations between the seals originating from different glassworks were small, discriminant analysis enabled the separation of glassworks to an extent which makes future provenance studies feasible. The need of supplementary use of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and proton-induced gamma-ray emission for the glass samples was also investigated.

Medieval Tuscan glasses from Miranduolo, Italy: A multi-disciplinary study

“…All the signals of the detectors were recorded event by event in list mode by the Oxford type OMDAQ data acquisition system. A detailed description of the measurement setup can be found in (Simon et al, 2011).…”

EDXRF and FTIR Analysis of Some Glass Fragments Belong to Ottoman Period, Excavated in Ancient Ainos (Enez) Turkey

“…Ottoman Period, Excavated in Ancient Ainos (Enez) Turkey by melting a combination of an alkali (potash or soda) and silica (raw materials such as sand). Compositional and structural analyses in the study of ancient and historical glass are important in solving problems connected with the manufacturing technology, raw materials and origin of these objects [2][3][4] .…”

Light-element sensitive in-air millibeam PIXE setup for fast measurement of atmospheric aerosol samples

“…2 One of the main research areas is ion beam analysis and its applications in the elds of environmental research, biomedicine, geology, materials & surface science (including ion beam induced damage investigations and proton beam lithography), radiation chemistry and heritage science. [3][4][5][6][7] In 2019, aer 48 years of reliable operation the 5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator (VdG5) was shut down due to the deteriorating conditions of both the accelerator and its accommodating building. In the meantime, as part of an infrastructure development program, a new 2 MV Tandetron accelerator by High Voltage Engineering Europa B.V was installed in 2014, 8 and thus development and construction of new beamlines have been started.…”
