Abstract. The source of X-ray radiation with the energy of quanta that may vary in the range h = 1÷12 keV was developed for studies in X-ray interaction with matter and modifi cation of solid surfaces. It was based on a vacuum spark discharge with the laser triggering. It was shown in our experiments that there is a possibility to adjust X-ray radiation spectrum by changing the confi guration of the electrode system when the energy stored in the capacitor is varied within the range of 1÷17 J. A comprehensive study of X-ray imaging and quanta energy was carried out. These experiments were carried out for the case of both direct and reverse polarity of the voltage on the electrodes. Additionally, ion composition of plasma created in a laser-triggered vacuum discharge was analyzed. Highly charged ions Zn (+21) , Cu (+20) and Fe (+18) were observed.
The influence of the conditions of laser initiation on soft X-rays emission of vacuum spark E D Vovchenko and A P Melekhov -The spectrum simulation of the soft X-ray for vacuum spark with laser initiation A P Melekhov and E D Vovchenko Corresponding author e-mail: apmelekhov@mephi.ruAbstract. At a certain form of broadband source soft X-ray spectrum is expected to achieve selective radiation exposure to one of the elements of a multi-component material Cd x Hg 1-x Te. In this case we can talk about a change of the surface properties of the substance as a result of selective absorption of soft X-rays.
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.
