X-ray spectroscopy is a rapid and economical physical technique for the quantitative analysis of the elemental composition of specimens and a gathering name for several spectroscopic methods using x-ray: X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray emission spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence analysis, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy etc.
According to IUPAC, X-ray spectroscopy consists of three steps:
1. excitation to produce emission lines characteristic of the elements in the material;
2. measurement of their intensity, and
3. conversion of X-ray intensity to concentration by a calibration procedure which may include correction for matrix effects.
Corresponding devices are called X-ray spectrometers, working in the field of soft and hard X-rays. A special form is the so-called X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, short XRF spectrometer. Moreover, there are large-scale X-ray radiation sources for research purposes.
Applications for this technique of spectroscopy, for example: the structural analysis, crystallography, analytical chemistry, materials science etc.
