Development of direct elemental analysis for process control of nuclear materials manufacturing
2019
In order to optimize the quality control processes of uranium and plutonium metals from nuclear industry production lines, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) appears as an efficient technique: it enables multi-element, fast and remote chemical analysis that require no sample preparation. Thus, the purpose of our work is to develop this technique towards the quantification of metal impurities in nuclear materials, with an analytical development achieved from surrogate materials. It follows another PhD thesis where a particular spectral band, Vacuum UltraViolet, has been chosen for its performance regarding the detection of several light elements in such materials. However, after per…

Characterization of foxing stains in early twentieth century photographic and paper materials
2016
The subject of this present work is a group of nine historical pictures shot in Palermo by the Sicilian photographer E. Interguglielmi in 1912. They are nine matte-collodion prints mounted on the original cardboard supports and all of them show foxing stains affecting the paper surface. In order to characterise the chemical composition of the supports and investigate foxing spots, non-destructive and micro-destructive analysis were carried out. X-rays fluorescence (XRF) analysis was used to characterise the elemental composition of all the mounting boards, allowing a comparison between the foxing spots and non-affected areas. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy was used to investigate the …

Confronto XRF – LIBS per la caratterizzazione chimico-fisiche dei materiali lapidei provenienti dal teatro greco-romano di Taormina
2008
Vengono messe a confronto due tecniche spettroscopiche, la fluorescenza a raggi X (XRF) e la ablazione indotta da laser pulsato (LIBS), al fine di caratterizzare la composizione chimico-fisica di materiali lapidei naturali e non provenienti dal teatro Greco-Romano di Taormina. Entrambe le tecniche permettono un’analisi integrata, offrendo la LIBS la possibilità di ottenere informazioni stratigrafiche. Verranno presentati i risultati di analisi XRF e LIBS effettuate in situ e in laboratorio sui campioni prelevati nel teatro. L’interpretazione quantitativa delle analisi LIBS è stata effettuata mediante una tecnica standarless, ossia che non richiede l’uso di standard e denominata tecnica Cali…

Analisi integrata tramite XRF e LIBS per lo studio dei materiali pittorici
2011
Lo studio dei materiali pittorici è uno degli obiettivi primari per la caratterizzazione storico- artistica delle opere d’arte poiché fornisce informazioni utili circa i materiali originali e di degrado, la tecnica di esecuzione ed eventuali interventi di restauro pregressi. Tuttavia, la complessità delle indagini archeometriche è legata alla necessità di garantire la salvaguardia del bene culturale che rende essenziale l’uso di tecniche di indagini non o micro invasive. Tra le metodologie d’indagine integrata, l’uso della fluorescenza a raggi X (XRF) e della spettroscopia mediante ablazione laser (LIBS) risponde a tale esigenza e risulta particolarmente utile per la complementarietà delle …
