X-ray Fluorescence (XRF): A method for elemental analysis of samples based on the characteristic fluorescence radiated by various elements exposed to X-rays. In core examination, X-ray fluorescence typically is used to help determine mineral content. The elemental volumes are inverted to mineral volumes by assuming specific standard formulae for mineral composition. Commonly used in formation evaluation.
