BA85: A Bence-Albee oxide analysis routine with mineral code capabilities
BA85 is a routine for the quantitative reduction of x-ray data collected from oxide samples in an electron microprobe. BA85 is based on the correction procedures developed by Bence and Albee and is coded in Flextran for use with the TASK8 microprobe operating system. Features include stoichiometry and statistical calculations, the use of a 90 - oxide A-factor matrix which contains all of the common valence states for such elements as Fe and Cr, the ability to analyze up to 45 oxides, and the ability to create and use mineral codes which permit associating up to 15 oxides with three letter mnemonic codes. Entering a mineral code results in the analysis of the oxides associated with it and the performance of one of 21 endmember calculations. 13 refs., 2 figs., 3 tabs.
