Abstract
The proton-induced X-ray fluorescence (PIXRF) technique is a powerful tool for elemental analysis and pigment identification. A reaction chamber for the production of intense mono-energetic X-rays by proton impact on thick pure targets was constructed. The X-rays from Ti, Fe, Cu, Zr, Mo and Ag targets passing through a thin Kapton window, were used for elemental analysis of various Iranian tile glazes. The tiles belong to various well-known Iranian monuments built in 13–19th century. Since the analysis is performed outside vacuum, there is no serious limitation for the sample size under study. Quantitative analysis was performed using an iterative method.
