Vanadium Sample

Vanadium Sample

Here is a blog that consists our data about the Vanadium (V) Sample taken under the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Dr. Hassel and Dr. McColgan provided us with 3 stages that each consisted of 6 different element samples in them. This is the data we collected when we studied the Vanadium Sample from these stages. Below is the data we collected:


*Note: When observing this sample we noticed that this sample charged up significantly.*

Data Number: SAInTCentr
Magnification: 2300
Accelerating Voltage: 30000 Volt
Emission Current: 85000 nA
Working Distance: 15300 um


Above is a picture of the stages we used that consisted of the 6 different metal samples.




Above is the spectrum for our Vanadium Sample.


In the Vanadium Sample we found traces of Vanadium(V), Aluminium(Al), Silicon(Si), and Sulfur(S). Vanadium peaked at 0.525 keV, 4.964 keV, and 5.428 keV. Aluminium peaked at 1.495 keV. Silicon peaked at 1.742 keV, and finally Sulfur peaked at 2.307 keV.


 Below is the data we collected using the HD Prime X-Ray Flourescence (XRF) Analyzer:
