Abstract
A new approach based on two dimensional correlation mapping (2D-CM) and Particle Induced
X-ray Emission (PIXE) spectra was successfully applied to describe the diffusion processes of
chloride and sulfate ions. The use of hybrid 2D correlation enables a fast comparison of ions
diffusion, while multiple perturbation correlation spectroscopy enables the study of
compositional factor affecting diffusion. It was shown that by rearranging the same data in
different ways, different techniques of 2D-CM could be applied and new information could be
obtained. The 2D-CM findings were in line with the classical PIXE results and consistent with
the underlying physics of the experiments, which suggest that it will be a powerful and fast data
analysis tool for PIXE data.
Keywords: Chloride; Sulfate; Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE); two dimensional
correlation mapping (2D-CM); Hybrid Correlation.
