Mineral compositions of granitic rocks from Geochang, Pocheon, Iksan, and China were obtained by the modal analysis, CIPW norm calculations, and Rietveld quantitative analysis for stone specification of the Geochang granitic rocks. The Geochang granitic rocks show grey to dark in color and medium grained porphyritic texture. They mainly consist of quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar, and biotite. Among three different method for determining the mineral compositions of granitic rocks, normative compositions using X-ray fluorescence data are not appropriate for representing real mineral composition. Rietveld quantitative analysis using X-ray powder diffraction data is proved better method to determine exact mineral compositions than modal analysis using microscopic observation. Q-A-P diagram shows that the Geochang granitic rocks are typical granodiorite, whereas the granitic rocks of Pocheon, Iksan, and China are monzogranite, monzogranite to granodiorite, and granodiorite, respectively. Compared to China ones, the Geochang granitic rocks are nearly close to each other in mineral composition.

Using solution technique, sulfur in the sulfide ore was indirectly determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The sample was dissolved with the mixed solution of B$r_2$ and HN$O_3$, and Si$O_2$, a major constituent, was repelled from the solution by HF treatment several times, B$a^{2+}$ solution was added to the solution to precipitate the S$O^4_{2-}$ ion as BaS$O_4$. Measuring the fluorescent X-ray intensity of excess Ba2+ ion in the filtrate, the content of sulfur in the original ore was back-calculated. Comparing the results by this method with the gravimetric method, the mean difference was ${\pm}1.7%$ in the range of 20 to 40% of sulfur content and the method was tolerably reproducible.

Utilyzing the solution prepared for the sulfur determination, the amounts of iron, copper and cobalt in the sulfide ore were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The samples were dissolved with the mixed solutions of ,$Br_2\;and\;HNO_3$ and a major constituent of $SiO_2$was repelled from the solution by HF treatment several times. The analytical results agreed with the data obtained by conventional methods within ${\pm}$1.5% for Fe of the range of 20 to 50%, ${\pm}$1.0% for Cu of 10 to 15%, and ${\pm}$0.4% for Co of 1 to 5%. The present method was tolerably found to be reproducible.

Due to recent development of high temperature high pressure(HTHP) diamond synthetic and treatment technology, we need to identify the natural diamonds fast, reliable, and economically. We proposed using new method of UV fluorescence and X-ray Lang topography imaging for distinguishing one synthetic diamond from four natural colored diamonds. We observe unique local stress field uneven image in synthetic diamond using UV fluorescence and Lang topography characterization, while uniform images in natural diamonds. Especially, X-ray Lang method offered the better identification power with better high resolution on stress field images.

$Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ co-doped $Y_3Ga_5O_{12}$ polycrystalline powders were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method, and their crystallinities were measured using X-ray diffraction. According to the results of X-ray diffraction, the powders showed a polycrystalline tetragonal structure. The photoluminescence and the upconversion luminescence properties of the $(Y_{0.85-x}Yb_{0.15})_3Ga_5O_{12}:Er^{3+}_x$ (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15) phosphors were investigated in detail. Green and red upconversion emissions were observed for the phosphors excited by 980 nm radiation from a semiconductor laser. The powders exhibited strong green and weak red upconversion emission peaks at 553 and 660 nm, respectively. Also, their upconversion processes were explained using an energy-diagram analysis and the strongest upconversion intensity was emitted by the powder with a 0.12 mol $Er^{3+}$ ion concentration.

Rare earth elements including Y and Th in the monazite were separated and determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The matrix effects among the rare earth elements were simultaneously corrected by means of empirical coefficient method. The values of the coefficients were quite dependent on the number of the standards. However, the different set of coefficients led to the same results. The analytical results corrected by the present method agreed with those by the inductively coupled plasma spectrometry.

In this study, soil contamination maps related to Cu and Pb were created at the Busan abandoned mine in Korea using a handheld X-Ray Fluorescence(XRF) and Geographic Information Systems(GIS). Hydrological analysis was performed using the Digital Elevation Model(DEM) of the study area to identify the flow directions of surface runoff where pollutants can be dispersed from the soil contamination sources. 24 locations for measuring the soil contamination related to Cu and Pb were selected by considering the result of hydrological analysis. The results measured at the 24 locations using the handheld XRF showed that the highest value of Cu contamination is 8,255ppm and that of Pb is 2,146ppm. The field investigation data were entered into ArcGIS software, and then soil contamination maps regarding Cu and Pb with a 5m grid-spacing were created after performing spatial interpolations using the ordinary kriging method. As a result, we could know that high concentrations of Cu and Pb are presented at the waste and tailings dumps around the abandoned mine openings. This study also showed that the handheld XRF and GIS can be utilized to create soil contamination maps related to Cu and Pb in the field.
