TLDR
In this article, the anomalous emission effect does not seem to introduce errors in these experiments, and theoretical bases are discussed, as well as the theoretical basis for the experiments.
Abstract
Electron probe microanalysis, associated with electron microscopy, of thin foils of gold-silver alloys has been made using thin foils of pure elements as standards. Theoretical bases are discussed. Specimens and standards were prepared by vaporization in vacuum and their thickness accurately measured. The anomalous emission effect does not seem to introduce errors in these experiments.

The quantitative analysis of thin specimens: a review of progress from the Cliff-Lorimer to the new zeta-factor methods.

TL;DR: The new ζ‐factor method has several advantages over the Cliff‐Lorimer ratio method because information on the specimen thickness at the individual analysis points is produced simultaneously with compositions, thus permitting concurrent determination of the spatial resolution and the analytical sensitivity.

Comparative study of the electronic structure of noble-metal-noble-metal alloys by optical spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed optical absorption measurements on thin films of noble-metal-noble-metal alloys over the whole concentration range and showed that the absorption spectrum has essentially the shape of the matrix spectrum, with a supplementary absorption band due to impurities.

X-ray microanalysis in biology: Quantitation

TL;DR: Various methods for quantitative analysis in the electron microscope X-ray microanalyser are considered, including the fairly simple procedures for the measurement of relative amounts of elements, and the more extensive procedures needed for the absolute measurement of mass fractions in biological specimens.

Electrical and optical properties of CoP metallic glasses

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical and optical properties of CoP alloys are investigated as a function of concentration and annealing temperature, and the effects of anneal effects on electrical resistivity and optical absorption are studied.

Enhanced X-ray emission from extinction contours in a single-crystal gold film

P. Duncumb
TL;DR: In this article, the authors confirmed the theoretical prediction that extinction contours in the electron microscope image of single-crystal metal films should be associated with enhanced x-ray emission.

On the production of characteristic X-rays in thin metal crystals

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation of the effect of electron diffraction on X-ray production with orientation has been carried out and the results are in qualitative agreement with the simple theory, and can be explained quantitatively by extending the theory to take into consideration the other scattering processes which act upon the electrons which produce the X-rays.
