Abstract

Photon-induced K x-ray spectra of Ca, Ti, Fe, Zn and Ge have beeninvestigated. The measurements have been made using acrystalspectrometer combined with a thin scintillation detector. Excited by thecollimated photon beam from anRh-anode x-ray tube, the spectra of all theseelements reveal the existence of radiative Auger emission (RAE) structureand the satellite and hypersatellite lines along with the diagram lines.The energies and intensities of the Kα2, Kα1,Kβ1,3 and Kβ5 diagram lines and the Kαsatellites and hypersatellite transitions are presented. The intensity ofthe RAE structure corresponding to the Kβ1,3 x-ray transitionand the energy of the RAE edge for each element is also reported. Themeasured results have been compared with the values from other sourcessuch as electron/heavy-ion excitation and theoretical values. From theintensities of the satellite lines of these elements, the average L-vacancyfraction PL has been deduced in each case.
