PIXE analysis of Western Han dynasty ancient glasses unearthed in Yangzhou city
Chemical composition analysis is one of the most important research aspects to provide scientific proof for the technical origin and development of Chinese ancient glass. Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique is a kind of multi-element quantitative analysis method with high sensitivity and without destruction of samples. Chemical composition of the Western Han dynasty glass garment flakes
which were excavated from Yangzhou city
was analyzed by PIXE
quantitatively. It was found that these glass flakes were attributed to PbO-BaO-SiO2 glass originated in China. These flakes all consist of a glass core and a corroded outer layer with different thickness. There are relatively higher PbO
P2O5 and CaO
while much lower BaO and SiO2 in the corroded layers than in the glass cores. The experimental results were discussed.
