XRF Testing

          Atoms may occur when materials are exposed to short wavelength X-rays or gamma irradiation component. Ionization is the ejection of one or more electrons of the atom, and can occur if the atom is exposed to radiation of energy greater than the ionization potential. X-rays and gamma rays can be energetic enough to drive the electron orbitals of strongly held internal atom. Removing an electron in this way allows the electronic structure of the atom is unstable, and electrons in higher orbitals "fall" in the lower orbit for the hole left to fill. In falling, energy is released as photon energy equal to the energy difference of the two orbitals. Thus, the material emits radiation, the characteristic energy of atoms present. The fluorescence term is applied to phenomena involving the absorption results of high energy radiation in the re-emission of radiation at low energy.
