QuantificationPeak
intensities are proportional to concentration and specimen thickness. They removed the effects of variable specimen thickness by taking ratios of intensities for elemental peaks and introduced a “k-factor” to relate the intensity ratio to concentration ratio:
Each pair of elements requires a different k-factor, which depends on detector efficiency, ionization cross-section and fluorescence yield of the two elements concerned. Slide13

Artefacts in EDS
Si escape peak:A small fraction of the energy is lost and not transformed into electronhole pairs2. Sum peak:
Two photons will enter the detector at exactly the same time. The analyzer then registers an energy corresponding to the sum of the two photons. Likely to occur if:- The input count rate is high.
- The dead times are > 60%.- There are major characteristic peaks in the spectrum.Slide22

3. Fluorescence: This is a characteristic peak from the Si (or Ge) in the detector dead layer.
