Abstract

AbstractThe relative efficiencies of four Si(Li) detectors from three different manufacturers were studied. The results show that such efficiencies depend not only on the shape and size of the detector's sensitive volume but also on the collimator assembly and centralized or off‐centre mounting of the crystal within the cryostat. It is therefore necessary to calibrate the XRF spectrometer in the same geometric configuration which will be used for the intended application in elemental analysis; calculated model‐dependent efficiencies can be very different from experimental efficiencies.
