Combined XRD-XRF analysis – EVA

A particular highlight is EVA's ability to simultaneously analyse XRD and elemental data (e.g. obtained via XRF). Automatically restricting search/match to phases consisting of only actually present chemical elements, dramatically improves phase identification success rates, specifically for samples with completely unknown composition and origin.

For quantitative phases analysis, EVA calculates both phase and element concentrations, and compares the latter with the actually measured element concentrations. Combined XRD and elemental analysis thus serves as an extremely powerful tool to confirm phase identification and to improve the accuracy of quantitative phase analysis results.
