Abstract

The Kβ/Kα intensity ratio for pure 3d elements and some of their chemical compounds were measured with a high-resolution Si(Li) detector. The K vacancies were produced by radiation from an x-ray tube. Metallic foils and thick pressed discs containing polyvinyl alcohol as an organic binder were used as targets. The Kβ/Kα intensity ratio was estimated from the spectrum by an evolutionary fit algorithm and corrected for detector efficiency, self-attenuation in thick samples and background radiation. The results are compared with other experimental and theoretical values. They indicate a general increase in the Kβ/Kα intensity ratio with increasing oxidation number.
