Comparison of two Monte Carlo approaches for homogeneous bulk samples
This manuscript presents a comparative analysis of two software packages, MC X-ray and PENELOPE, focusing on their accuracy and efficiency in simulating k-ratios for binary compounds and comparing their spectra with experimental data for pure elements and compounds. Based on the Pouchou database, MC X-ray slightly outperforms PENELOPE in k-ratio calculations, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.71% with a standard deviation of 0.027, compared to 2.87% with a standard deviation of 0.053. Discrepancies between the two programs emerge at lower beam energies (3 and 5 keV) when comparing simulated spectra with experimental data; however, at higher energies (20 and 30 keV), both software packages exhibit consistent and reliable performance across a range of atomic numbers. While both tools are effective for analysing homogeneous bulk samples, MC X-ray offers significant advantages in processing speed and user-friendliness. This study underscores the strengths and limitations of each package, providing valuable insights for researchers engaged in X-ray simulation and microanalysis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit.
The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens.
Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
