The figures show the importance of fitting data using this procedure. Figures 1 (right) and 2 (bottom) show a representative result that should arise from a proper fitting. If there is an insufficient fit, the integral spectrum image will look noticeably off and the resulting quantified data will have errors in it, although these will be hard to detect in most cases.

Synchrotron-based XRF has been used across multiple disciplines for many decades. For example, it has been used in biology on studies such as that done by Geraki et al., in which they quantified trace amounts of metal concentrations within cancerous and non-cancerous breast tissue 1. More generally, quantitative XRF has been applied to a wide array of biology studies concerned with metal concentrations in cells and tissues, as described by Paunesku et al.2. Similarly, marine protists were studied for trace elements 3,4 and even micro- and macronutrient distributions were observed within plant cells 5. Work by Kemner et al.6, which identified distinct differences in morphology and elemental composition in single bacteria cells, was also made possible through quantitative XRF analysis. Additionally, and specifically relevant to the example disclosed herein, materials scientists studying solar cell devices have made use of high-resolution XRF for studies on the existence of sub-micron metal impurities in silicon semiconductors 7,8, correlative work on how elemental distributions affect electrical performance in solar devices 9,10, and identifying depth-dependent gradients of CIGS thin film solar cells via grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence (GIXRF) 11.
Many of these studies make use not only of the high-resolution capabilities of synchrotron X-ray fluorescence to study spatial distribution, but also the quantification of the information for drawing numerical conclusions. In many studies it is critical to know the elemental concentrations associated with the aforementioned spatial distributions. For instance, in the work by Geraki et al., the study required quantifying the difference in concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, and potassium in cancerous and non-cancerous breast tissues, to better understand what concentrations become harmful to human tissues 1. Similarly, work by Luo et al. made use of quantified XRF to identify small amounts of chlorine incorporated in perovskite solar cells when synthesized both with and without chlorine-containing precursors 12. Therefore, for certain studies in which the concentrations of elements are needed, proper quantification is a necessary and critical step.
The process of quantifying elemental concentrations from X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements translates fluorescence intensity counts into mass concentrations (e.g. &#181;g/cm2). The raw spectra present the number of photons collected by the energy dispersive fluorescence detector as a function of energy. The spectra are first fit and then compared to a standard measurement to calculate the quantified data. In particular, the first step of fitting fluorescence spectra is critical even for the qualitative analysis of the elements. This is because prior to fitting, counts are binned based on their energy, which becomes a problem when two elements with similar fluorescence transitions are contained in the sample. In this situation, counts may be incorrectly binned and thus associated with the wrong element.
It is often also necessary to quantify XRF spectra in order to accurately draw conclusions on relative quantities of elements in a sample. Without proper quantification, counts of heavy elements and lighter elements will be compared directly, ignoring differences in capture cross section, absorption and fluorescence probability, attenuation of the fluorescence photons, and the distance of the element&#39;s absorption edge from the incident energy, which all affect the number of photons striking the detector. Therefore, the process of fitting the spectra for each map and comparing peak intensities to the standard, both of which are done in the following procedure, is critical for the accurate quantification of each of the elemental concentrations.
We demonstrate how to convert the raw counts of fluorescence photons to units of micrograms per square centimeter (&#181;g/cm2) by first fitting an integral spectrum, or a summed spectrum of all the individual spectra produced at each measurement spot or pixel in a 2D map. This spectrum demonstrates the relative intensities of the different elements contained in the sample. The distance the absorption edge of a certain element is from the incident beam energy influences the intensities of their fluorescence peaks. In general, the closer the two energies are, the greater the intensity produced for those elements, although this is not always the case. Figure 4 in Ref 13 shows the dependence of the absorption length of X-ray photons, which directly relates to the resulting intensity, for the majority elements in a methylammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cell. This demonstrates the fluorescence response of elements with respect to energy, and shows that it is not a continual decrease in response with increasing distance from the incident energy, but rather that it is also dependent upon the element itself.
The result of this relationship is that raw elemental concentrations may appear higher for element channels with excitation energies closer to the incident energy, even if the true quantities of those elements are lower in relation to other elements with excitation energies farther from the incident. Therefore, the energy dependence of intensity, along with other factors such as fluorescence yield variations, different absorption edges, detector sensitivity, and measurement background, etc., is why fitting the data is very important prior to drawing conclusions on the observed elemental quantities. We then apply a fitting algorithm to the integral spectrum, where the user defines the elements and parameters to fit via a text document.
The algorithm, created by Vogt et al. 14, makes use of regions of interest (ROI) filtering, in which it integrates over certain elements&#39; peak regions, and principle component analysis (PCA). First, PCA is done to identify only the elements and peaks that are very strongly apparent. This allows for the separation of noise from the true signal. Next, the principle components identified are numerically quantified, which is important for deconvoluting different element peaks with the same excitation energy, for example overlapping Au M&#945; and P K&#945;. Finally, ROI filtering may be applied to the numeric data by integrating over specified regions.
To relate counts to elemental concentrations, a well-quantified reference (often referred to as &#34;standard&#34;) is measured under the same measurement conditions, geometry and energy, as the sample under study. This standard is often from Dresden AXO or from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). They cover a variety of different elements and come with tabulated elemental distributions. The normalization of the measured counts of the sample of interest to the counts of the standard under the same measurement conditions provides the basis for the elemental quantification for the sample of interest.
More specifically, MAPS identifies the elements and their concentrations of the standard either by the fact that the standard information is known by the program (as is the case for the AXO and NIST standards) or through data entered into a separate file (in the case of a different standard being used). From this information, the program relates the measured intensities of the standard elements under the measurement settings to the anticipated concentration embedded in MAPS. It then creates a scaling factor to adjust for any offset and extrapolates this scaling factor to all the remaining elements not included in the standard. The scaling factor then includes the offset from the measurement settings and the information provided within MAPS for the linear conversion of raw counts to areal density in &#181;g/cm2.
Here, we demonstrate how to make use of the program, MAPS, developed by Dr. S. Vogt, to quantify data acquired from fluorescence-capable beamlines at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) 14. The data used for the demonstration was acquired at sector 2-ID-D of ANL using the measurement setup shown in Figure 1 of 10. The fitting procedure may also be applied to data taken from other beamlines, however, note that certain characteristics of the ANL beamlines are embedded in the program and will need to be updated.

Quantifying X-Ray Fluorescence Data Using MAPS

The quantification of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy maps by fitting the raw spectra to a known standard is crucial for evaluating chemical composition and elemental distribution within a material. Synchrotron-based XRF has become an integral characterization technique for a variety of research topics, particularly due to its non-destructive nature and its high sensitivity. Today, synchrotrons can acquire fluorescence data at spatial resolutions well below a micron, allowing for the evaluation of compositional variations at the nanoscale. Through proper quantification, it is then possible to obtain an in-depth, high-resolution understanding of elemental segregation, stoichiometric relationships, and clustering behavior.
This article explains how to use the MAPS fitting software developed by Argonne National Laboratory for the quantification of full 2-D XRF maps. We use as an example results from a Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cell, taken at the Advanced Photon Source beamline 2-ID-D at Argonne National Laboratory. We show the standard procedure for fitting raw data, demonstrate how to evaluate the quality of a fit and present the typical outputs generated by the program. In addition, we discuss in this manuscript certain software limitations and offer suggestions for how to further correct the data to be numerically accurate and representative of spatially resolved, elemental concentrations.

An example of proper fitting results can be seen in the following Figures. Firstly, in Figure 1 a direct comparison is shown between a poor fit and a good fit for the integral spectrum. The bad fit is reparable by both ensuring no elements are missing, for instance copper, which has a clear peak in Figure 1(left) but is not being included in the fit, and adjusting the branching ratios of the L and K lines to improve the accuracy....

Here, we demonstrate the use of the X-ray fluorescence fitting software, MAPS, created by Argonne National Laboratory for the quantification of fluorescence microscopy data. The quantified data that results is useful for understanding the elemental distribution and stoichiometric ratios within a sample of interest.
