Abstract :
PIXE is one of the nuclear techniques used to analyze the samples of geological materials routinely, but its validity in case of simple materials or non-matrix samples may give good results depending on elements present in composition. The applicability in case of complex matrix material rocks or minerals, the validity of results is not accurate if material contains a wide range of elements and results obtained by PIXE as single methodologies, should compare with other analytic nuclear technique. Simultaneously, to obtain a wide range of results of the complex geological material by using any nuclear technique, complimentary techniques should apply to the material analysis in case of complex geological materials.
