TY - CONF A1 - Holzweber, Markus A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - What about ionic liquids as a 'hot' certified reference material candidate to check your EDS below 1 keV? N2 - Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) is one of the most applied methods used for the analysis of the chemical composition of solids and thin films. Recent progress in EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer) technology has increased the general performance also in the energy range < 1 keV addressing low Z elements. Suitable test materials to be employed especially to check the low-energy EDS performance – also in line with ISO 15632 - are rather limited and mainly based on C K and F K lines. In order to obtain valid results in laboratories accredited in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 it is necessary to periodically check the instrument performance.
