Abstract
A simple theoretical model has been developed to determine the intensity of the metal x rays emitted from metal tritides and also the intensity of the oxygen x rays from oxides that form on the surface of these tritides. This model includes the transport of the beta-decay electrons, the details of the x-ray production mechanisms, and the transport of the x rays out of the tritide films. It was found that for small surface oxide densities the ratio of the intensities of oxygen-to-metal x rays is a sensitive indication of the amount of surface oxide present. Reasonable comparisons were made with measured O(Kα)/Er(Lα) intensity ratios from Er(D,T).
