What Are the Limitations of XRF in Nanotechnology?
Despite its advantages, XRF has some limitations:
Depth of Penetration: XRF primarily analyzes the surface or near-surface region, which may not represent the bulk properties of nanomaterials. Detection Limits: While sensitive, XRF may struggle to detect elements in extremely low concentrations. Complex Matrix Effects: The presence of multiple elements can complicate the interpretation of the spectra.
