The Semi-Empirical Determination of K X-ray, KLL Auger Line and L subshell level widths for 3d transition elements at 59.5 keV

Abstract

The emission of X-rays in K and KLL Auger energy regions were analyzed for transition metals by using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) system. To acquire more information in this energy region, the semi-empirical determination of K, Auger line-widths and the L sub-shell level widths were performed. Since K shell is a core shell for transition metals and it is not easily be affected by valence shell electronic distributions, K shell fluorescence yields were used for the semi-empirical determinations. In the experiment, elemental form of transition metals were excited by 59.5 keV -rays from 241 Am annular source and the emitted X-ray photons were counted by Ultra-LEGe detector with a resolution of 150 eV at 5.9 keV. The obtained results were compared with the other studies in the literature.

Measurement of K Level Natural Line Widths, Kα1 and Kα2 X-Ray Line Widths

“…Present work Kundeyi andAylikci, 2019 Krause andOliver, 1979 As seen from Table 1, the chemical effects were detected in K level line widths with K1 and K2 X-ray line widths. The results show that K, K1 and K2 line widths of the compounds changes according to pure element values.…”
