This paper is a review on the studies performed through imaging and spectroscopy‐based
analytical methods on ancient 'gilded'art‐objects (9th–19th centuries) from the European …

Cultural heritage is a legacy that allows the expression of values and characteristics of
different civilisations over time. Thus, the study of those artworks and their conservation is of …

Quantitative X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE)
techniques have been developed mostly for the elemental analysis of homogeneous bulk or …

This work presents the portable X‐ray system SANDRA (Sistema de Analisis No Destructivo
por RAyos X or System for Non Destructive Analysis using X‐rays) developed at the Physics …

In this paper a general method based on energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)
analysis has been tested to assess its possible use as a tool to reconstruct the structure and …

Precious objects are often made from a thin layer of metal (gold or silver) superimposed on
another metal or alloy. Non-invasive XRF analysis is widely used on these objects to …

The gold coating layer of the gold-plated brass objects was estimated using calibration
curves obtained with a handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF). Calibration curves …

This review presents the features of the application of X-ray fluorescence analysis to the
study of a chemical composition and thickness of films and surface coatings. Examples of X …

In this work, we compared the accuracy of gold leaves thickness determination using X-ray
Fluorescence (XRF) setups for different X-ray excitation sources. The sources used …

In this work, we compare the matrix effects for two different X-ray fluorescence
spectrometers, a portable and a stationary one, in order to evaluate their performances in …
