Hi everyone,
I am currently synthesize a Si/Fe2O3 core/shell particle and would like to use EDS to estimate its elemental composition. Before quantification using EDS, I would like to perform a calibration against a standard having Si, Fe and O element with known composition. Although mixing Silicon particle and iron oxide particle seem to be a great choice, the homogeneous mixing of powder at microscale is really hard. I would like to consult with others what will be the best way to acquire EDS calibration standard? any suggestions will be valuable to us
