Abstract

The measurement of Absorption edge parameters of the LIII edge of pure elements Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi along with their compounds HgCl2, HgO, HgF2, TlCl, Tl2O3, PbCl2, PbF2, Pb3O4, BiF3, BiCl3 and Bi2O3 has been done using EDXRF technique. In the present measurements 241Am (59.54keV) radioactive source of activity 100mCi along with CANBERRA make cryo-cooled Si (Li) detector is used. The measured results are compared with theoretically calculated values from FFAST version 2.1 (Chantler et al., 2005) and shows good agreement with each other within experimental uncertainties within 3.5%. It is observed that the values of absorption edge parameters of the LIII edge depends slightly on the chemical environment and shows almost constant behaviour with effective atomic number (Zeff)
