Thickness Calculation of Pigment Layers and Gold Leaves Using XRF and MA‐XRF Data

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 335-348, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, XRF and MA‐XRF data were used to estimate the thickness of Chromium Oxide (Cr₂O₃) pigment and gold leaf applied over Lead White (2PbCO3.Pb(OH)2). The thickness determination was based on the differential attenuation of the Pb‐Lα and Pb‐Lβ characteristic X‐rays, which allows correlating the overlying material layer with the Pb(Lα ...
