Zirconium Sample

Zirconium Sample

Here is a blog that consists our data about the Zirconium (Zr) 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 Zirconium Sample from these stages. Below is the data we collected:

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

Above is the spectrum for our Zirconium Sample.

In the Zirconium Sample we found traces of Zirconium(Zr), Hafrium(Hf), and Chromium(Cr). Zirconium peaked at 0.157 keV, 2.054 keV, and 15.730 keV. For Chromium, it peaked at 0.526 keV and 5.412 keV. For Hafrium, it peaked at 1.656 keV and 7.892 keV. 

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