The K shell x-ray intensity ratios K β /K α for 9 elements in the atomic range 40 ≤ Z ≤ 50 have been determined for an excitation energy of 59.537 keV. The K-L total vacancy transfer probabilities (η KL ) for these elements have been determined, also. K x-rays emitted by samples were detected using a high resolution Si(Li) semiconductor detector. The measured values were compared with the theoretical values calculated using Scofield's tables based on the Hartree-Slater and Hartree-Fock theories, and available experimental values. The agreement of measured values of intensity ratios and vacancy transfer probabilities were quite satisfactory with theoretical calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
