Marcella Bini

If I rigthly understand, you find in your sample unexpected elements. The reasons could be different: impurities, contaminant...it depends. Have you got a specific case in mind?

Subba Raidu

Yes i find unexpected element

And thanks for your information

Gerhard Martens

Dear Subba Raidu ,

you may share your spectra and the unexpected finding(s).

Among the reasons mentioned by Marcella Bini , you may suffer from sum peak(s) and escape peak(s).

Just share the spectrum and we might solve your issue...

Best regards

G.M.

Actually my data is going to be publishing. So, i dont want to reveal my data.

Sorry

And thanks for your response

Ok, Subba Raidu , thanks for feedback;

perhaps you may share these data on a private (non-public) basis via RG messenger ...

Ok sir how to proceed for that

just send me the EDX spectrum as attachment...

(preferably as -pdf , .jpeg or word document)

(go to my RG home page and press the 'message' button)

Alternatively, I will now send you an RG message and you may reply...

(for an alternative way of (private) communication, my E-mail will be attached to that message)...
