The fundamental parameter (FP) method has been applied to many elemental analysis fields because of the advantage that it does not require standards of the same matrix as the unknown. In most FP software packages only primary and secondary excitations are included in the mathematical models, and hardly any software for routine applications has ever been reported involving the secondary enhancement by scattered radiation (SESR) as well as the scattered primary fluorescent radiation (SPFR). This can lead to errors in the analyses of compounds rich in light elements, like oxides, nitrides, carbides, borides, etc.
