Coating Thickness Determination Using X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy: Monte Carlo Simulations as an Alternative to the Use of Standards

X-ray fluorescence is often employed in the measurement of the thickness of coatings. Despite its widespread nature, the task is not straightforward because of the complex physics involved, which results in high dependence on matrix effects. Thickness quantification is accomplished using the Fundame...
