K X-Ray emission spectra from silicon and silicon compounds

Abstract

Wavelength and intensities are reported for the Si K series from silicon metal using primary excitation. Included in the tabulation are the diagram lines α 1,2 and β and the non-diagram or satellite lines α′, α 3, α 4, α 5, α 6, β″ and β‴. The strongest Si K lines (α 1,2, α 3, α 4, β′ and β) are listed for SiO 2 and changes in intensity, wavelength and band shape are discussed. Features of spectra from silicon compounds are shown and compared to results obtained on Al K spectra from aluminum compounds.
