The components that are used in structural and in high temperature applications generally face significant challenges with respect to oxidation behaviours and metalworking processes. In most of the cases, harsh environmental conditions lead materials to degrade due to corrosion. To thoroughly investigate the corrosion processes and to determine oxidation states of metal components within the reaction products, we need special analytical tools. Grazing exit X-ray fluorescence (GEXRF) offers a non-destructive way to collect this information in sub-micrometre depth range.
In order to obtain structural information, such as regarding oxidation states or atomic/molecular geometric arrangement, the GEXRF approach can also be combined with the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) method. The position and energy sensitive detector, with 264x264 pixel detector area, provides information regarding the signal emitted from the sample as a function of the emission angle and thus allows depth-sensitive analysis. Furthermore, the data collected from samples of an incidence energy which can be controlled with a resolution of 0.5 eV provides XANES data to determine oxidation states.
We address the feasibility of our setup and provide a new optimization procedure (Bayesian Optimization and Gaussian Regression) to decrease measuring time. The results settle on a conceptual study on a reference sample (Cr-Oxide layer (300nm) on Cr layer (500nm) on Si wafer).
Time is the most valuable parameter in synchrotron experiments. This is costly and some of the experiments suffer from low efficiency due to low counting statistics. With today's high processing power long experiments are run in a shorter time and increase efficiency. With optimization algorithms time in "counting-hungry" experiments reduced by factor of 10. Our project is to develop a new method to analyze the chemical properties of complex materials non-destructively and efficiently, such as high entropy materials subjected to corrosion processes. A better understanding of the corrosion process will help to develop corrosion-resistant materials and reduce the cost of corrosion damage, which averages around 2.5 trillion USD annually.
