Coating thickness XRF Standards
We manufacture high accuracy reference standards capable of calibrating virtually any X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) coating thickness and composition analysis system.

Pure Boron Foils
MICROMATTER™ boron foils are also produced by laser plasma ablation; however, the deposition process is much more complex and time consuming than that for diamond-like carbon. Accordingly, only thin films, mainly designed for beam stripping of heavy ions in electrostatic accelerators, are available. All films are generally delivered on glass substrates coated with a release agent.

Multi-Element Standards
These multi-element standards consist of multi-layer thin film coatings, one on top of the other, upto a maximum of 6 elemental coatings. It is generally recommended to have coating thicknesses < 20 µg/cm2, so as to cause negligible notable matrix effects, in particular absorption of X-rays emitted in lower deposits by those covering them.

Boron Enhanced Diamond-like Carbon Hybrid Foils
can be increased by sandwiching a thin layer of boron between two layers of diamond-like carbon. MICROMATTER DLC-B hybrid foils contain between 5% and 10% boron.DLC-B foils have remarkable flexibility, higher tensile strength and hardness. In most applications, their lifetime in particle beams is significantly greater than regular DLC foils. DLC-B foils are recommended for applications that require highest mechanical robustness and improved durability under beam conditions.

Permacoat Beryllium-Based Windows
MICROMATTER Permacoat™ x-ray detector windows are beryllium based. The outer surface of the window has enhanced corrosion resistance due to a proprietary inert coating, which does not notably affect the transparency of the window.

Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Foils
An intense laser beam is used to evaporate carbon from a graphitic sputter target. In the process, the graphite structure of the source material is converted into nano-particles, which deposit on prepared substrates as diamond-like carbon. The properties of these unique carbon foils make them useful in a variety of applications, in particular beam stripping, as backings for accelerator targets or x-ray attenuators.

Graphene Foils
for thicknesses ≥5 µm. At this time, graphene foils are not part of our regular product portfolio yet. A small quantity of research samples is available upon special request.
