Abstract
Micro‐x‐ray fluorescence (μ‐XRF) is a commonly used elemental analysis technique for glass physical evidence in forensic cases, which can detect major and trace elements in samples and potentially identify glass fragments according to the differences in elemental composition. However, when a sample is irradiated with polychromatic x‐rays, bremsstrahlung scattering from the source radiation provides noise in the fluorescence spectrum and affects the detection results. To improve the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the fluorescence spectrum, a Mμ‐XRF spectrometer constructed under the low‐power Mo target x‐ray tube condition was used to analyze ten kinds of common glass fragments. The application of laboratory Mμ‐XRF analysis in single‐point detection of tiny glass materials was studied. Experimental results show that the detection limit of Sr element was 51 μg/L, and the spectrometer can distinguish different types of small glass fragments according to the fluorescence spectrum information.
显微 X 射线荧光(μ-XRF)是法医案件中玻璃物证常用的元素分析技术,可检测样品中的主要元素和痕量元素,并可根据元素组成的差异识别玻璃碎片。然而,当用多色 X 射线照射样品时,源辐射的轫致辐射散射会在荧光光谱中产生噪声,影响检测结果。为了提高荧光光谱的信噪比,在低功率 Mo 靶 X 射线管条件下构建了 Mμ-XRF 光谱仪,用于分析十种常见的玻璃碎片。研究了实验室 Mμ-XRF 分析在单点检测微小玻璃材料中的应用。实验结果表明,Sr 元素的检测限为 51 μg/L,光谱仪可根据荧光光谱信息区分不同类型的微小玻璃碎片。
