The Cliff-Lorimer method for TEM/STEM EDX analysis is the most common method of EDX quantification. [1] While most researchers use k-factors supplied by the detector manufacturer, it is generally preferable to use experimentally determined standards. Acquiring appropriate multi-element standards can be challenging since these standards need to be homogeneous on a small scale with no surface films. Once adequate standards have been obtained, it is still necessary to account for absorption in the sample.
