Extract

In X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, one of the major problems is the correction for matrix effects (absorption and enhancement). One of the solutions proposed was the use of influence coefficients, which are numerical coefficients that correct for the effect of each matrix element on the analyte. For many years, these coefficients were considered as an empirical approach having little connection with X-ray fluorescence theory. They were considered useful only when no other alternative was available to solve the problem of matrix effect.
