Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
An analytical technique used for
the elemental analysis or chemical characterization
of a sample. As a type of spectroscopy, it relies on
the investigation of a sample through interactions
between electromagnetic radiation and matter,
analyzing x-rays emitted by the matter in response
to being hit with the electromagnetic radiation. Its
characterization capabilities are due in large part
to the fundamental principle that each element has a
unique atomic structure allowing x-rays that are
characteristic of an element's atomic structure to
be identified uniquely from each other.
