Deconvolution of EDS signals of a binary simulated material

[Facundo Bilbao]

Good day, I have a couple questions regarding the process of quantification. I am currently simulating a binary material composed of Zr and Nb. In this case de Zr Lb line interferes on the Nb La line, and for the simulations with a small amounts of Nb I can`t directly see its contribution to the total spectrum, and when I use the Quantification Alien, the simulations still works with the correct mass fractions of Zr and Nb.
My questions are:
How does the program discriminate between two lines that are so proximate from one another? Does it make a deconvolution of both signal (for Zr and Nb)?
If it does a deconvolution process. How does this process take place? Is it possible to do it separately of the DTSA program?

Thanks all for the attention,
